Club career

Born in Gandia, Valencian Community, Rivero joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2007 at the age of nine, from UD Portuarios Disarp. [1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 August 2017, starting in a 2–0 Segunda División away win against Deportivo Aragón. [2]

Rivero immediately became an undisputed starter for the B-team, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 20 December 2019. [3] For the 2020–21 season, he was definitely promoted to the main squad after the injury of Jasper Cillessen. [4]

Rivero made his first team debut on 16 December 2020, starting in a 4–2 away win against Terrassa FC in the first round of the season's Copa del Rey. [5] His professional debut occurred the following 17 January, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away defeat of AD Alcorcón, in the last 16 of the national cup. [6]

On 2 June 2021, Rivero renewed his contract with the Che until 2024. [7] Despite renewing, he became a fourth-choice option behind Jasper Cillessen, Jaume Doménech and new signing Giorgi Mamardashvili. [8]

On 28 January 2022, after a failed loan move to FC Dallas, [9] Rivero joined Segunda División side Alcorcón on loan for the remainder of the campaign. [10] He played only three games, with Dani Jiménez preferred. [11] While Cillessen left that summer, the addition of Iago Herrerín kept Rivero at fourth choice. [12]
