Football career

Early years

Born in Badalona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Becerra was on the books of both regional powerhouses FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol as a youth. He made his senior debut for the latter's reserves in Segunda División B, playing the two final games of the 2006–07 season, both defeats. The following campaign, he appeared in 12 matches and was sent off once as the team suffered relegation.

After a loan to Panionios F.C. of the Superleague Greece, he moved to another B-team, Real Madrid Castilla in 2010. He was used rarely during his tenure, winning promotion to Segunda División as champions in his second year.

Girona

On 29 June 2012, Becerra returned to his native region, signing a two-year deal with second level club Girona FC.[1] Despite only playing three times in the league season, he contested all four play-off games, assisting one of Javier Acuña's goals in a 3–1 home win over AD Alcorcón in the second leg of the semi-final.[2]

On 20 February 2014, with his deal due to expire in the summer, Becerra extended his stay at the Estadi Montilivi for another two years.[3] In 2014–15, he was ever-present as the side came a best-ever third, and both he and teammate Álex Granell were named in the division's Team of the Year at the LFP Awards;[4] in the first leg of the play-offs on 11 June, he kept a clean sheet in a 3–0 win at Real Zaragoza, and manager Pablo Machín highlighted him for praise.[5]

Becerra was the Segunda División Player of the Month for April 2016, after conceding one goal in five matches to put Girona one point off the play-offs – by that point, he was an undisputed starter and had kept 15 clean sheets.[6] He was again named the division's Goalkeeper of the Year.[7]

Valladolid

On 23 June 2016, Becerra joined Real Valladolid for three years.[8] He kept a clean sheet on his debut on 21 August, as his team began the season with a 1–0 home win over Real Oviedo.[9]
