Born in Alcoy, Province of Alicante, Juli began his career with hometown's CD Alcoyano in the Tercera División.

He stayed in that tier nonetheless, representing Benidorm CF and scoring a career-best eight goals in 33 games in 2006âÂÂ07.
In the 2007âÂÂ08 campaign, at already 26, Juli made his Segunda División debut, with Polideportivo Ejido. He only missed only one league match out of 42 in his first year and netted on five occasions, but the Andalusians were relegated.
Juli returned to the second tier for 2009âÂÂ10, helping Elche CF to contend for promotion until the last weeks of competition â eventually ranking sixth â with the player scoring six goals. In the ensuing summer he signed for Rayo Vallecano, starting in eight of the league games he appeared in (totalling 894 minutes) as the Madrid outskirts side finished second and returned to La Liga after eight years.
Juli subsequently represented Asteras Tripolis FC (Super League Greece), AD Alcorcón and Deportivo Alavés. With the latter team, he achieved another promotion to the top flight in 2016, being ever-present with 40 appearances and four goals.
On 28 June 2016, Juli terminated his contract with the Basque club and signed for Córdoba CF the following month. He joined third-division Hércules CF in July 2017, before returning to Alcoyano in September 2019.
On 22 July 2022, Juli moved to amateurs Ontinyent 1931 CF. He retired after helping in the team's first-ever promotion to Tercera Federación and immediately went back to Alcoyano, now as assistant coach.
Juli was part of Vicente Parras' staff at Alcoyano. On 15 November 2024, he was appointed head coach after the former's dismissal; one month later, however, he returned to his previous role to make way for Vicente Mir.
On 22 March 2025, Juli became the club's technical secretary following the arrival of Luis Miguel Garrido as assistant.
