Club career
Ponferradina
Born in Ponferrada, Castile and León, Valle was a product of local SD Ponferradina's youth system, making his senior debut with the reserves in the 2009–10 season. On 9 May 2010, he appeared in his first official match with the first team, playing the last 19 minutes of the 1–0 away loss against Zamora CF[1] as the club was eventually promoted.
On 29 January 2011, Valle made his professional debut with Ponfe by coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 defeat at SD Huesca in the Segunda División.[2] His first goal in the competition came on 12 March, as he scored the 2–1 home winner over Albacete Balompié.[3]
Spell in Galicia
On 26 January 2012, Valle was loaned to Celta de Vigo B of Segunda División B.[4] Six months later, he joined fellow league side CD Ourense in the same situation,[5] and signed permanently with the latter on 6 June 2013.[6]
Oviedo
On 21 May 2014, Valle moved to Real Oviedo also in the third division.[7] He scored a career-best nine goals during the campaign, achieving promotion to the second tier.[8]
Deportivo
Valle signed a three-year contract with La Liga club Deportivo de La Coruña on 21 June 2016.[9] He made his debut in the competition on 26 August, replacing Florin Andone in a 0–0 away draw against Real Betis.[10]
On 18 January 2017, Valle was loaned to Elche CF of division two until the end of the season.[11] Upon returning, he scored his first goal for Deportivo and in the top flight on 14 April 2018, in the 3–2 victory at Athletic Bilbao.[12]
Romania
Valle joined FC Dinamo București on 7 September 2020, on a two-year deal.[13] In his first match in the Romanian Liga I, he scored from approximately 60 meters in the 1–1 home draw with FC Botoșani.[14]
Later career
On 30 December 2020, Valle returned to Oviedo on a short-term contract.[15] The following 26 July, he moved to the Emirati UAE Pro League with Khor Fakkan Club,[16] but returned to his homeland in the next transfer window on a five-month deal at AD Alcorcón.[17]
On 7 July 2022, free agent Valle agreed to a one-year contract at fellow second-tier FC Cartagena.[18]
In June 2023, Valle returned to Romania when he joined Rapid București on a two-year contract.[19]
