Football career
Born in Almería, Andalusia, Ruiz played for modest teams throughout the majority of his career (mostly in Catalonia), spending five seasons with FC Barcelona's second team. He also appeared for hometown's UD Almería in the second division (only five games out of 42 during his first and only campaign).
In January 2008, Ruiz was bought by RCD Espanyol from AD Adra as first-choice goalkeeper Carlos Kameni was away on international duty and backup Iñaki Lafuente injured.[1] He left the club in July 2010, without any official appearances whatsoever.
In the 2010 autumn, Ruiz signed for Polideportivo Ejido in the third level. The following season he joined another side in that tier, CD Roquetas.
