Club career

Barakaldo / Athletic

Born in Barakaldo, Biscay, Basque Country, Serantes graduated from Barakaldo CF's youth system, after spells at Santutxu FC and Athletic Bilbao. He made his debut as a senior in 2008, while on loan at amateurs SD Deusto.
Serantes subsequently returned to Barakaldo in June 2009, and spent the following two seasons as a backup to Igor Etxebarrieta. On 19 January 2011, he signed a two-year contract with former side Athletic to be made effective in July, being assigned to the reserves.
On 24 July 2013, Serantes returned to his hometown club in a season-long loan deal. He appeared in all Segunda División B matches during his tenure, and was subsequently released by Athletic on 26 May 2014.

Lugo

On 9 July 2014, Serrantes signed for Segunda División's CD Lugo. On 1 September, he was loaned to fellow league team CD Leganés for a year. He played his first match as a professional on 23 November, starting in a 0–1 away loss against CD Mirandés.

Leganés

Serantes terminated his contract with the Galicians on 2 July 2015, and signed a two-year deal with Leganés a day later. He featured in all 42 games in the first season in his second spell, helping the club reach La Liga for the first time in its 87-year history and finishing second in the Ricardo Zamora Trophy in the process.
Serantes made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 22 August 2016, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 away win against RC Celta de Vigo. On 8 September, he was named the La Liga Player of the Month. Shortly after, during the first half of a league match at RCD Espanyol, he suffered a serious knee injury, and was sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

Avispa Fukuoka

On 30 December 2018, Serantes moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Japan's Avispa Fukuoka after terminating his contract with Leganés.
