Club career
Born in Atarfe, Granada, Andalusia, Varela graduated from Real Betis' youth setup, after starting it out at neighbouring Granada CF.[1] He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2011–12 campaign, in Segunda División B.
On 4 May 2013 Varela was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against FC Barcelona,[2] but was an unused substitute in the eventual 2–4 away loss a day later.[3] He played his first match as a professional on 27 February 2014, replacing Rubén Castro in the 81st minute of a 2–0 away win against FC Rubin Kazan, for the season's UEFA Europa League.[4]
On 24 July 2014 Varela renewed his link with the Verdiblancos, running until 2016.[5] He made his league debut on 23 November, starting in a 1–2 home loss against Deportivo Alavés for the Segunda División championship.[6]
On 5 May 2015, Varela renewed his contract for a further season, and subsequently achieved promotion to La Liga by appearing in 22 matches. He made his debut in the category on 27 September, starting in a 2–1 away win against Sporting de Gijón.
