Football career

Born in Ponferrada, Castile and León, Valle was a product of local SD Ponferradina's youth system, making his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2009–10 season. On 9 May 2010, he appeared in his first official game with the first team, playing the last 19 minutes of the 0–1 away loss against Zamora CF[1] as the club was eventually promoted.

On 29 January of the following year, Valle made his professional debut with Ponfe by coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 loss at SD Huesca for the Segunda División championship.[2] His first goal in the competition came on 12 March, as he scored the 2–1 home winner over Albacete Balompié.[3]

On 26 January 2012, Valle was loaned to Celta de Vigo B in Segunda División B.[4] Six months later, he joined fellow league side CD Ourense in the same predicament,[5] and signed permanently with the latter on 6 June 2013.[6]

On 21 May 2014, Valle moved to Real Oviedo also in the third level.[7] He scored a career-best nine goals during the campaign, achieving promotion to the second tier.

On 21 June 2016, Valle signed a three-year deal with La Liga side Deportivo de La Coruña.[8] He made his debut in the category on 26 August, replacing Florin Andone in a 0–0 away draw against Real Betis.[9]
