Club Career
Torres began his career with UDA Gramenet before joining Valencia CF in 1997–98. He was a regular with the B team for two seasons, before he was loaned out to Recreativo de Huelva and CD Tenerife in the next two years. In the latter, alongside Mista and Luis García, he was a key member of the Canary Islands outfit – coached by Rafael Benítez – that won promotion to La Liga.
Torres then returned to Valencia, where he proceeded to become a key member in the teams that won the national league twice and the 2003–04 UEFA Cup (again under Benítez). From early 2005 onwards, however, he would be severely hindered by injuries, although he appeared in 17 games in 2006–07, mainly as a left-back due to Emiliano Moretti's forced absence.
In 2007–08 Torres was loaned to top level newcomers Real Murcia, where his physical problems resurfaced (two league appearances). Upon Murcia's relegation, he returned to Valencia, being restricted to two UEFA Cup matches during the season, with even midfielder Hedwiges Maduro being preferred as Miguel's backup; he left Valencia at the end of the campaign.
On 27 July 2009 Torres moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the second division, playing no minutes whatsoever in the season (league or cup) as Nàstic finished in 18th position. In January of the following year, after the loan acquisitions of Borja Viguera and Álex Bergantiños by the club, the 34-year old's contract was cancelled.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power—how he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
