Club career
editBorn in Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, del Cura joined Villarreal CF in 2019, aged 14, and spent his formative years playing for their youth sides and affiliate club CD Roda. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 8 September 2023, starting in a 3–0 Tercera Federación loss to Roda.
On 3 February 2025, del Cura was loaned to Segunda Federación side Lleida CF until June.[1] After his loan ended, he left his parent club in July and moved to another reserve team, CD Mirandés B in the fifth division.[2]
Del Cura made his first team debut on 13 March 2026, coming on as a half-time substitute for Ali Houary in a 2–0 Segunda División home loss to Cádiz CF.[3] He impressed enough on his debut to remain with the main squad until the end of the season,[4] and was handed his first start nine days later, where he scored the equalizer in a 2–1 home win over Real Valladolid.[5]
On 16 April 2026, already established as a first team regular, del Cura renewed his contract with the Jabatos until 2028.[6]
International career
editOn 2 November 2022, del Cura was called up to the Spain national under-18 team for two friendlies against Switzerland.[7]
