Club career[edit]

Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Alejo joined Atlético Madrid youth setup in 2011 from Real Valladolid.[2] He made his senior debut for the former's C-team in 2014, in Tercera División.

On 19 July 2016, Alejo signed a two-year contract with Segunda División club AD Alcorcón.[4] He made his professional debut on 20 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Aguza in a 0–0 home draw against SD Huesca.[5]

Alejo scored his first goal as a professional on 13 May 2017, netting the first in a 2–0 home win against Rayo Vallecano, but was sent off a minute later.[6] On 14 June, after helping the Madrid side avoid relegation, he signed a four-year contract with SD Eibar.[7]

Alejo made his debut in La Liga on 21 August 2017, replacing goalscorer Charles in a 1–0 away win over Málaga CF.[8] He scored his first goal in the category on 3 December, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home defeat of RCD Espanyol.

On 26 July 2018, Alejo signed a five-year contract with fellow top division side Getafe CF.[9] The following 31 January, after being rarely used, he was loaned to second division side Málaga CF until the end of the season.[10]

On 30 August 2019, Alejo moved to Cádiz CF in the second level, also in a temporary deal, signed until the end of the season.[11][12] The following 22 July, after achieving promotion, the club exercised the obligatory buyout clause and signed him permanently until 2025.[13]
