Club career

Sevilla

Julián was born in Campotéjar, Granada, Andalusia. He played youth football with Sevilla FC, spending several of his first seasons as a senior with the reserves, in Segunda División B.
On 26 January 2013, as both players who split first-choice status in the first team, Diego López and Andrés Palop, were unavailable, Julián was promoted to the main squad. He made his La Liga debut two days later, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 home win against Granada CF.

Almería

On 21 January 2014, Julián was loaned to fellow league side UD Almería until the end of the campaign. He signed on a permanent basis on 13 June, after agreeing to a three-year deal.
Julián made his debut for the Rojiblancos on 5 December 2014, starting in a 4–3 away win against Real Betis for the Copa del Rey. After starter Rubén went down with an injury, he became first-choice, notably saving a penalty kick in a 1–0 success at RC Celta de Vigo.
