Hector was a big star in the youth teams of Las Parmas, where he scored goals any time he wanted. Before he made his debut in the first team, the biggest clubs were in for him. Apparently, even Real Madrid enquired about acquiring his services, but he signed a 3-year deal with Atletico Madrid. Very soon he became a big star in the B team, where he scored 4 goals in 8 games in Segunda Division B, adding also 2 goals in UEFA Youth League. Largely thanks to ghese goals Rojiblancos won their group and will play Manchester City in the round of 16.

He came on for Leo Baptistao after 77 minutes and scored a goal one minute later in a 2-1 home win. He is also a regular Spain U-19 international.
