Club career

Born in San Vicente del Raspeig, Alicante, Valencian Community, Poveda joined Villarreal CF's youth setup in 2008, aged 11.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 13 March 2016, coming on as a late substitute and scoring the last in a 5–2 home routing of UD Benigànim in the Tercera División.[2]

On 21 August 2016, Poveda made his debut with the reserves in a 1–0 Segunda División B away loss against UE Cornellà. He was definitely promoted to the B-side the following 30 May, after scoring 14 goals for the C-team.[3]

On 21 August 2017, Poveda made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, replacing Manu Trigueros in a 0–1 loss at Levante UD.[4] The following 23 July, he moved to another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B also in the third division.[5]

Poveda made his first-team debut for Atleti on 23 November 2019, playing the last eight minutes of a 1–1 away draw against Granada CF. On 31 August of the following year, he moved to fellow top tier side Getafe CF on a season-long loan deal.[6]

In June 2021, despite only playing five minutes for Getafe, Poveda signed a permanent five-year contract with the club.[7] He scored his first goal in the top tier on 19 December, netting a last-minute winner in a 1–0 home success over CA Osasuna.[8]

On 25 January 2022, Poveda was loaned to Segunda División side SD Huesca until the end of the campaign.[9] On 5 July, he moved to fellow league team UD Ibiza also in a temporary deal.[10]

On 19 January 2023, Poveda's loan with Ibiza was terminated, and he moved to fellow second division side FC Cartagena on loan for the remainder of the season.[11] On 3 July, he was loaned to CD Leganés in the same category for one year,[12] but after being rarely used, he returned to the Efesé on 1 February 2024, again in a temporary deal.[13]

On 1 July 2024, Poveda terminated his contract with Geta.[14]
