Club career

Born in Madrid, Melero joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2004, aged ten, after starting it out at EF Zona Norte. He made his debuts as a senior with the former's C-team in the 2013–14 campaign, being relegated from Segunda División B.

In July 2014 Melero was promoted to the reserves, now also in the third level.[1] On 30 January of the following year, after being sparingly used by manager Zinedine Zidane, he moved to Segunda División's SD Ponferradina in a two-and-a-half year deal.[2]

Melero made his professional debut on 15 February 2015, coming on as a second half substitute for Pablo Infante in a 1–2 home loss against CD Numancia.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 27 February of the following year, but in a 2–4 away loss against Bilbao Athletic.

On 27 July 2016, after Ponfe's relegation, Melero signed a one-year contract with SD Huesca still in the second level.[4]
