Born in Pinoso, Valencian Community,[2] Ruvira joined Hércules CF's youth setup in 2010, aged ten, from hometown side Pinoso CF.[3]

Ruvira made his senior debut with the reserves on 9 September 2017, starting in a 3–2 Regional Preferente home win against Benferri CF. The following July, after four appearances, he signed for Getafe CF and returned to the youth setup.[4]

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Ruvira moved to CF Fuenlabrada and was assigned to the B-side in the regional leagues.[5] He made his first-team debut on 8 August 2020, starting in a 1–2 away loss at Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División, as several first-team players were out due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad.[6][7]
