Playing career
editPicón was born in Santander, Cantabria. A product of hometown club Racing de Santander's academy,[1] he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 23 April 2009, coming on as a last-minute substitute for Nikola Žigić in a 5–1 home win against Atlético Madrid.[2] He spent the vast majority of his spell, however, playing for the reserve side in the Segunda División B.[3]
For the 2010–11 season, Picón remained in the third division, joining Pontevedra CF on loan.[4] A very brief spell in Greece with A.O. Glyfada notwithstanding, he continued competing in that tier the following years, but also in amateur football;[5][6][7] he notably achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda Federación with UM Escobedo at the end of 2023–24.[8]
Post-retirement
editImmediately after retiring in 2025 aged 37, Picón returned to Racing Santander as youth system coordinator.[9]
