Career

Valéro began playing football as a child in a village near his hometown of Perpignan. When he moved to Granville with his parents , he played for a club there before he was accepted into the youth department of the professional club SM Caen at the age of 13 . In the north of France he moved up to the first team during the 2004/05 season and made his first division and professional debut when he lost to Nicolas Seube on April 9, 2005 in a 0-1 defeat against FC Metz in the 85th minute was substituted on. He played a total of five first division games and was once successful as a goalscorer before he had to accept relegation to the second division in the summer of 2005. In the lower division, however, he did not make the breakthrough and he usually came into play in the role of a joker. He was one of a team that achieved promotion to the top division in 2007, but he signed instead with the third division Olympique Nîmes in the same year .

Despite his move to a lower league, he was unable to establish himself as a regular regular at Nîmes and also experienced his third year in a row without scoring goals in the 2007/08 season, even if he made promotion to the second division with the team at the same time . However, he did not benefit from this success, since he moved to FC Sète in the summer of 2008 and thus remained in the third highest division. Although he received a place in the first team in the south of France, he had to witness the club's forced relegation to the sixth division in 2009 and decided to move to AS Beauvais, who are also in the third division .

In 2011 he was signed by league rivals US Quevilly . In the first eleven he was given a place as a service provider and was part of a team that, despite poor results in the league, was able to draw attention to itself by beating the first division clubs Olympique Marseille and Stade Rennes in the cup . This brought the underdog out of the third division into the national cup final in 2012 and he was on the pitch when the title dreams of the surprise team from Quevilly were dashed by a 1-0 loss to Olympique Lyon . Valéro had contributed four goals to the success of his team in the course of the competition.

Immediately after the respectable success he turned his back on Quevilly in the summer of 2012 and decided to move to the fourth division club Luçon VF . At Luçon, he became a regular player and made it to the third division with the West French in 2013. At the end of the 2013/14 season, he ended his career at the age of 30.
