Club career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Vicente joined Real Zaragoza's youth setup in 2017, from AD Stadium Casablanca. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 24 September of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 5–2 Segunda División B away loss against CF Badalona.

Vicente scored his first senior goal on 2 September 2018, netting the B's fourth in a 4–0 Tercera División home routing of CF Calamocha,[1] and finished the 2018–19 season with ten goals as Deportivo Aragón missed out promotion in the play-offs. On 5 October 2020, he signed a one-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, and was initially assigned to the farm team in the fourth tier.[2]

Vicente left Nàstic on 6 November 2020,[3] after just one match for Pobla, and joined SD Ejea in the third level on 30 December.[4] On 24 June 2021, he moved to Primera División RFEF side CD Calahorra.[5]

On 30 June 2022, after scoring a career-best 11 goals for the Riojan side, Vicente signed for Racing de Ferrol in the same division.[6] He featured in all matches during the regular season, scoring eight times as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División after 15 years.

Vicente made his professional debut on 12 August 2023, starting in a 1–0 away win over Elche CF.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 10 September, netting the equalizer through the penalty spot in a 2–2 home draw against Villarreal CF B.

On 22 December 2023, Vicente joined La Liga side Deportivo Alavés for a reported fee of 600.000 euros,[8] signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.[8][9] He made his debut in the category the following 2 January, replacing Antonio Blanco in a 1–1 away draw against Real Sociedad.
