Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Vaquero began his career with hometown side CD Oliver before joining Villarreal CF's youth categories at the age of 12.[3] He left the club after one year, subsequently returning to Oliver and representing EM El Olivar before joining Real Zaragoza's youth sides in 2020.[4]

Vaquero made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 September 2021, starting in a 1–0 Tercera División RFEF away loss to CF Épila. He scored his first senior goal on 28 November, netting the B's third in a 3–1 home win over Utebo FC, and scored a further four times during the campaign as the side achieved promotion to Segunda Federación.

Vaquero made his first team debut on 30 October 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute for Víctor Mollejo in a 1–1 Segunda División away draw with Burgos CF.[5][6] The following 26 July, he was loaned to Primera Federación side CD Lugo for the season.[7]
