Club career[edit]

Born in Alzira, Valencia, Lozano graduated from the youth setup of local Villarreal CF. On 11 February 2017, he made his debut for the reserves in a 3–2 defeat against Valencia CF B.[1] On 28 August 2017, he made his debut for the C-team in a 0–0 draw against Crevillente Deportivo.[2]

Lozano made his first team debut for the senior team on 7 December 2017, replacing fellow debutant Manu Morlanes in the 76th minute of a 1–0 defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa League.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 1 September 2019, netting the equalizer for the B's in a 2–1 away win against Hércules CF.

On 13 August 2020, Lozano was loaned to Segunda División newcomers FC Cartagena for the season.[4] On 26 December, after featuring rarely, he was recalled by his parent club.[5]

Lozano helped the B-side to achieve promotion to the second level in 2022, scoring a career-best nine goals in 34 appearances. He scored his first professional goal on 19 August 2022, netting his side's first in a 2–2 home draw against SD Eibar, but being sent off later in the match.

On 6 July 2023, Lozano signed a three-year contract with Levante UD also in division two.[6]

International career[edit]

On 24 September 2014, Lozano was called to the Spain under-16 team.[7] In the following year, he was awarded by the Valencian Football Federation for his performance with the youth side.[8]
