Born in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz,[1] Luna made his professional debut with UD Almería – also in Andalusia – in Segunda División, after spending the first part of his career as a senior in lower league or amateur football.
[2] Luna signed with Sporting de Gijón also of the top division, in another winter transfer move, but his stay in Asturias would not be very successful individually, also being loaned twice, first with Hércules CF.
His second loan move was with Scottish Premier League team Dundee in 2000;[3] he impressed in his beginnings in Scotland by netting three times in five starts, but cited family reasons for leaving the country.
[3] He had a successful first season with Hibs, scoring twice in a UEFA Cup first-round tie against AEK Athens FC (3–2 home win, 3–4 aggregate exit).
[4] Luna had a less successful second year, however, and was allowed to come back to Spain in January 2003,[5] returning to former club Almería where he produced three and a half respectable seasons in the second level.
