Club career[edit]

Spain[edit]

Born in El Escorial, Madrid, Cidoncha was a product of local Atlético Madrid's youth ranks. He made his senior debut in the 2009–10 season with the C team, in the Tercera División. Two years later, he was promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B.

On 25 July 2013, Cidoncha was loaned to Real Zaragoza, recently relegated to Segunda División.[1] He made his debut in the competition on 17 August, in a 1–1 away draw against Hércules CF.[2]

On 4 August 2014, Cidoncha signed a two-year deal with Albacete Balompié, newly promoted to the second tier.[3] He opened his scoring account in the league on 23 November, his brace helping the hosts to defeat CA Osasuna 2–0.[4]

Cidoncha returned to division three in summer 2016, joining SD Ponferradina.[5]

India[edit]

On 10 August 2018, 27-year-old Cidoncha moved abroad for the first time and signed with Indian Super League club Jamshedpur FC.[6] He scored three goals in his only season, adding as many assists in a fifth-place finish.[7]

Cidoncha moved to fellow top-tier side Kerala Blasters FC on 12 June 2019, on a two-year contract.[8] He scored his first goal for them on 1 December, in the first minute of an eventual 2–2 home draw with FC Goa.[9] At the end of the campaign, he agreed to a one-year extension.[10]

On 18 November 2020, Cidoncha was named as one of the captains.[11] Late in the same month, he was taken off the field in the last minutes of the fixture against Chennaiyin FC after a challenge from Enes Sipović;[12] it was later confirmed that he had suffered a ligament injury to his right ankle, being expected to be on the sidelines for an extended period of time[13] and eventually being replaced in the squad by his compatriot Juande.[14]

Later career[edit]

Cidoncha returned to Spain on 27 August 2021, joining third-division Gimnástica Segoviana CF.[15]
