Career[edit]

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Nili graduated with UD Las Palmas's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the C-team in 2012. In the following year, he was promoted to the reserves of the Segunda División B.

On 19 December 2014, Nili renewed his contract until 2016.[1] He made his first-team debut on 7 June, starting in a 3–2 home win against Deportivo Alavés in the Segunda División.[2]

Nili made his La Liga debut on 14 February 2016, coming on as a late substitute for David García in a 0–2 away loss against Sevilla FC.[3] On 1 July of that year, he signed for FC Barcelona B after his contract expired.[4]

Nili made his first team debut for Barça on 30 November 2016, replacing Samuel Umtiti in a 1–1 away draw against Hércules CF, in the season's Copa del Rey.[5] The following 1 September, however, he cut ties with the club[6] and immediately signed a two-year contract with Albacete Balompié.[7]

On 24 January 2018, Nili moved abroad for the first time in his career after signing for Platanias in the Superleague Greece.[8]

On 28 January 2020, Nili joined Indian club Bengaluru FC as a replacement for Manuel Onwu.[9]

On 9 June 2020, he signed a two-year contract with Levadiakos.[10] After having a great 2021–22 season and winning the South Group of Super League 2[11] and beating Veria 2–0[12] on aggregate to win promotion to the Super League,[13] he was named the best player of the 2021–22 Super League 2.[14]

In the summer of 2022, Nili joined Kallithea, after running out his previous contract.[15]

On 16 June 2023, Nili returned to India joining I-League club Gokulam Kerala and signing a one-year contract.[16]
