Football career

After playing for Real Valladolid B, Santacruz joined Valencia CF's reserves. On 10 April 2005, he made his first and only La Liga appearance, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 home draw against Málaga CF.

Subsequently, Santacruz appeared one season apiece for Real Madrid's C and B sides, suffering relegation from the second division with the latter outfit in 2007. After that, he returned to level three and played in that division for AD Ceuta, CD Linares and UB Conquense (one season each).

In the 2010 summer, 27-year old Santacruz returned to the second level, joining Albacete Balompié.
