Rico made his first-team debut 30 November 2021, replacing Dani Escriche late into a 2–0 away win over CD Cayón in the season's Copa del Rey.[2] He made his professional debut on 14 December, as he replaced Kevin Carlos in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC, also in the national cup.[3]

On 30 January 2024, Rico was loaned to Primera Federación side AD Ceuta FC for the remainder of the season.[4] On 16 August, he moved to fellow league team SD Tarazona also in a temporary deal.[5]
