Football career

Palencia joined local Real Madrid at the age of ten. In 2004, he made his professional debuts with the reserve side, Real Madrid Castilla, in Segunda División B,^[1] going on to appear in three seasons with the club.

In the 2004–05 season, Palencia played twice with the main squad, his debut coming on 26 February 2005, in a 0–2 La Liga loss at Deportivo de La Coruña. Two weeks later, in another away fixture for the same competition, he appeared against Getafe CF (1–2 loss) and, in the ensuing summer, left the club and signed with R.E. Mouscron in Belgium.^[2]

After one unassuming season in the Belgian top division, Palencia returned to Spain, joining Getafe's B-team.^[3] In 2009 he moved to CF Atlético Ciudad in division three, but the club was declared bankrupt in August of the following year.^[4]

In early October 2010, Palencia signed with amateurs Las Rozas CF, in his native Madrid,^[5] his debut coming on the 14th against UD San Sebastián de los Reyes, in the Copa Federación de España's qualifying rounds. In the following transfer window, however, he returned to the third level, joining Orihuela CF.
