Club career

Born in Cartagena, Yuste started out at local clubs Fuente Álamo and Real Murcia CF. He finished his youth career with neighbours FC Cartagena.[2]

Yuste returned to Cartagena after one year at loan at amateurs AD Las Palas, helping them return to Segunda División in 2008–09[3] and finishing the season in the starting XI after a coaching move.[4] The following campaign, as the Region of Murcia side nearly promoted again, he contributed 18 games.[5]

From 2010–11 to 2013–14, Yuste was relegated three times from the second division, successively with UD Salamanca, Racing de Santander and Hércules CF.[6] For the 2014–15 season he returned to Granada CF who had loaned him to the latter two teams, making his La Liga debut on 23 August 2014 by playing the first half of a 2–1 home win against Deportivo de La Coruña (0–1 at half-time).[7]

Yuste returned to the second tier late into the 2015 January transfer window, being loaned to RCD Mallorca; in the summer, the move was made permanent.[8] He scored his first goal for the Balearic Islands club on 27 March 2016, helping to a 1–1 draw at UD Almería.[9]

Following Mallorca's relegation in 2017,[6] Yuste signed with Apollon Limassol FC in the Cypriot First Division, where he shared teams with his compatriot Adrián Sardinero.[10] After leaving, he spent two seasons at AC Omonia in the same country, winning the Cypriot Cup twice and the 2021 Cypriot Super Cup; he also played in the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League group stages.[11]
