Club career
editMateu was born in Valencia. Having emerged through local Levante UD's youth academy, he made his first-team debut during the 2008–09 season, in a Segunda División game against Córdoba CF (3–0 home win, 25 minutes played).[2]
On 10 August 2010, Mateu signed his first professional contract, running until 2013, and was loaned to Segunda División B club Real Unión.[3] He subsequently served loans at CD Badajoz[4] and Deportivo Aragón,[5] signing permanently with the latter side after cutting ties with Levante in July 2012.[6]
On 30 May 2013, Mateu was released by Zaragoza after a bout of indiscipline.[7] He moved to Villarreal CF's C team in October,[8] and was promoted to the reserves the following year.[9]
On 28 July 2015, Mateu signed for CD Numancia of the second tier.[10] He scored his first professional goal on 3 April 2016, the decider in a 3–2 home victory over SD Huesca.[11]
Mateu was a regular starter during his spell at the Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos,[12][13] leaving after relegation in 2020. On 23 August that year, he agreed to a two-year deal with CD Castellón, recently returned to the second division.[14]
On 29 June 2021, after another relegation, Mateu signed a two-year contract with SD Huesca still in division two.[15] He terminated his link with the club on 25 July 2023,[16] and agreed to a two-year deal at CD Eldense in the same league later that day.[17]
During the 2023–24 campaign, Mateu was converted into a left-back and established himself as a starter in that position.[18]
