Club career

Gragera was born in Gijón, Asturias, and joined Sporting de Gijón's youth setup in 2008, from La Asunción CF. On 24 January 2018, while still a youth, he signed a professional three-year deal with the club.[2]

Gragera made his senior debut with the reserves on 16 December 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Pedro Díaz in a 1–0 Segunda División B away win against Arenas Club de Getxo. He scored his first goal the following 14 October, netting the B's second in a 2–0 win at CD Izarra.

Gragera made his first team debut on 8 June 2019, again replacing Díaz in a 1–0 home defeat of Cádiz CF in the Segunda División.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 20 September 2020, netting the game's only in an away success over FC Cartagena.

On 31 January 2023, Gragera signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with La Liga side RCD Espanyol.[4] He made his debut in the category on 4 February, playing 30 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against CA Osasuna, and scored his first goal in the division on 18 March, but in a 3–1 home loss to RC Celta de Vigo.

Gragera became a regular starter in the 2023–24 campaign as the Pericos returned to the top tier at first attempt, but subsequently had limited playing time due to injuries.[5] On 30 July 2025, he moved to second division side Deportivo de La Coruña on loan for one year.[6]
