Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Guirado was an unsuccessful youth graduate at hometown club Málaga CF, going to play for two other clubs before completing his formation. He started his senior career in 2003 with CE Mataró, moving to Catalonia neighbours CE Manresa in Tercera División shortly after and returning to his native region after the year was over, signing for Córdoba CF in Segunda División; during his spell in that tier he appeared in only nine games as the 2004–05 season ended in relegation, and represented mainly the B-side in both the fourth division and the regional leagues. Following a brief loan spell with Atlético Madrid B in Segunda División B, Guirado joined Deportivo de La Coruña for €50.000, but only appeared officially for the reserves, also being loaned twice during the 2006–07 campaign, playing a combined 17 games for UD Vecindario and CD Lugo. He spent the following three seasons in division three with as many teams, being relegated twice. In early October 2010, Guirado signed for fourth-tier club CD Ronda. However, in the summer of 2011, he decided not to renew his contract in order to explore other possibilities, with scouts from China, Indonesia, Japan and the United Arab Emirates following his progress. On 13 August 2011, Guirado signed a deal with Global Cebu F.C. in the Philippines. He was sent off in his first match against Philippine Army FC, and scored his first goal on 30 January 2012 in a 5–1 win over Manila Nomads FC. On 17 August 2012, Guirado signed a one-year contract with I-League side Salgaocar FC. Before the end of the year the club terminated his contract, citing poor performances and prolonged absence due to national team duty. In total he made a combined eight appearances and scored three goals, between the league and the Federation Cup. In January 2015, Guirado joined Udon Thani F.C. in the Thai Regional League Division 2. Seven months later, he signed for Icelandic club Knattspyrnudeild UMFG. In late January 2017, Guirado moved to Italian amateur football with A.C. Palazzolo. In May of the following year, he joined Malaysia Super League side Negeri Sembilan FA.
Born to a Filipina mother who hailed from Ilagan, Isabela, Guirado started playing football when he was six years old. He was a cousin of Caloy Garcia, a Filipino basketball assistant coach, and was also a distant uncle of ABS-CBN star model and actress Coleen Garcia. Guirado's older brother, Juan Luis, was also a footballer. A defender, he spent most of his career in amateur football, appearing in 104 games in the third division for six teams, and also represented the Philippines internationally.
