Club career
[edit]Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Dorado alternated between Segunda División and Segunda División B until the age of 29. He started his senior career with Deportivo Aragón, then went on to represent UE Lleida, SD Huesca[1][2] and Real Betis.[3]
Dorado scored two goals in 33 games in the 2010–11 season[4][5] to help the latter club to return to La Liga, as champions, after a two-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 27 August 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 derby away victory over Granada CF.[6] He contributed 2,890 minutes during the campaign as they retained their status, scoring his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 31 March 2012 in another match against a team from his native region, Málaga CF (2–0 away win).[7]
On 22 January 2013, Dorado returned to the second division, joining Villarreal CF.[8] He started in all his 11 league appearances in his first year, going on to achieve another promotion.[9]
On 6 July 2015, Dorado signed a two-year deal with Rayo Vallecano after his contract expired.[10] He scored once[11] from 38 matches in 2017–18, as the side returned to the top tier after the first-place finish.[12]
In January 2019, the 36-year-old Dorado moved to Real Zaragoza.[13] On 13 July that year, he agreed to a contract at third-division SD Ejea.[14]
