Career

Born in Murcia, Riera was a Levante youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 22 August 2015, playing the last six minutes in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against Hércules.

On 1 February 2016, after being sparingly used, Riera was loaned to fellow league team La Roda until the end of the season.[1] The following July, he moved to Getafe's B-team in Tercera División, after terminating his contract with the Granotes.

Riera returned to the third division on 11 July 2017, after agreeing to a contract with Formentera.[2] The following 31 January, he moved to Toledo in the same category,[3] but spent the remainder of the campaign sidelined after suffering a knee injury.[4]

In August 2018, Riera joined another reserve team, Villarreal B also in division three.[5] Roughly one year later, he terminated his contract with the Yellow Submarine and moved abroad, signing a two-year contract with Asteras Tripolis of the Greek Super League.[6]

Riera made his professional debut on 24 August 2019, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Olympiacos.[7] His first goal came on 13 September of the following year in the 2020–21 season opener, the only one of a home win against Panathinaikos.[8]

On 14 July 2021, Asteras Tripolis announced the extension of Riera's contract with the club for two more years, until June 2023.[9]

On 30 May 2023, he signed a contract with Greek Super League team OFI Crete until the summer of 2025.[10]
