Atlético Madrid Born in the village of
Castillo de Bayuela in
Castilla–La Mancha, Pulido arrived at
Atlético Madrid's youth system at the age of 8. He made his senior debut in the
2009–10 season, appearing with
their reserves in the
Segunda División B. Pulido made his official debut with the
Colchoneros first team on 10 November 2010, playing the entire 1–1 home draw against
Universidad de Las Palmas CF in the
round of 32 of the
Copa del Rey (6–1 aggregate win). On 18 February of the following year, he extended his contract with the club by signing until 2014. On 15 May 2011, benefitting from injuries to
Diego Godín and
Luis Perea and the suspension of
Tomáš Ujfaluši, Pulido made his first
La Liga appearance, playing the full 90 minutes and being
booked after committing a
penalty in a 2–1 home victory over
Hércules CF, as the team finally
qualified for the
UEFA Europa League as seventh. On 27 January 2012, he was loaned to fellow top-division side
Rayo Vallecano until June.
Castilla and Albacete After being a regular starter with Rayo, Pulido returned to Atlético in the summer of 2012, but after being again underplayed he moved across the city to
Real Madrid on 19 July 2013, being assigned to
the reserves in the
Segunda División. He
suffered relegation with the latter and was released, subsequently joining
Albacete Balompié also in that tier. Pulido scored his first professional goal on 25 January 2015, his team's second in a 3–2 win at
AD Alcorcón.
Sint-Truiden In June 2016, after
Albacete's relegation, Pulido moved abroad for the first time to
Sint-Truidense V.V. of Belgium on a three-year deal. In the third game of
the season, he was
sent off in a goalless draw with
R.S.C. Anderlecht for a foul on
Trézéguet, earning him a two-match ban and €800 fine.
Huesca Pulido went back to Spain's second tier on 6 July 2017, on a two-year contract at
SD Huesca. He played all bar three matches as the
Aragonese club
reached the top flight for the first time, scoring in the 2–0 away defeat of
CD Lugo on 21 May 2018 that confirmed it. The team was immediately relegated, and Pulido was sent off in his last two appearances of
the campaign. In late January 2019, he agreed to a three-year extension at the
Estadio El Alcoraz. In
2019–20, Pulido
captained Huesca to the second division title. He wore a new armband design in every away game to honour the host city, such as a guitar at
Cádiz CF. On 26 April 2026, Pulido was pushed by
Real Zaragoza's
Esteban Andrada in injury time of a 1–0 home win, and the
goalkeeper was given a straight red card, following which he landed a punch on Pulido; his teammate
Dani Jiménez and opponent
Dani Tasende were also ejected in the match later on. ==International career==
