Club career

Cádiz

Born in Los Barrios, Province of Cádiz, Tiri began his career at Cádiz CF. He was mostly associated to the reserves during his spell and only collected two first-team appearances, the first occurring on 10 May 2009 at the age of 17 as he played the final 25 minutes of a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against CD Guadalajara.[1]

On 1 September 2010, Tiri played the full 90 minutes of a 3–1 home success over CE L'Hospitalet in the first round of the Copa del Rey, at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza.[2]

Atlético Madrid

Tiri transferred to Atlético Madrid in 2012, being assigned to their B-side also in the third level. He was first-choice during his three-year spell, being relegated to Tercera División in his last season.

Atlético Kolkata

On 18 June 2015, Tiri signed for Indian Super League defending champions Atlético de Kolkata at the same time as compatriot Jaime Gavilán, joining Borja Fernández and Josemi in the team's Spanish contingent.[3] An unused substitute for their first two matches of the campaign, he made his debut on 7 October by playing the entirety of a 1–1 draw at FC Goa in place of Arnab Mondal, who was away playing internationally for India.[4]

Tiri finished the season with 13 appearances, as his team were eliminated in the semi-finals by Chennaiyin FC. On 1 February 2016, he returned to Atlético Madrid and its B-team.[5] However, before playing a game for them, on 16 March he agreed terms to go back to Kolkata for the next season.[6]
