Club career

Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Medina grew in local Athletic Bilbao's youth ranks, but could only appear as a senior for its farm and B teams. In 2012, he left the club and joined Basque Country neighbours Barakaldo CF,[1] being first choice in his first and only season.

In July 2013, Medina signed for Deportivo Alavés, recently promoted to the second division.[2] He made his professional debut on 16 August, in a 0–1 away defeat against Girona FC.[3]

Medina moved to fellow league side CD Numancia on 17 June 2015 after signing a three-year deal.[4] He continued competing in the second tier the following years, with Sporting de Gijón[5][6] and UD Logroñés.[7]

After Logroñés relegated to third division a year later, Medina moved to fellow third division side Racing Santander on two-years contract.
