Club career

Catena was born in Móstoles, Madrid, and represented CD Móstoles URJC as a youth. He made his first-team debut during the 2012–13 season, achieving promotion to Tercera División.

Catena scored his first professional goal on 21 October 2018, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home defeat of CF Rayo Majadahonda. The following January, he terminated his contract with the Catalans due to the club's poor financial situation overall.[5]
