Calle was born inMadrid. Having spent his early years playing mostly in the area, including stints withRayo Vallecano andAtlético Madrid'sreserve teams, he joinedSegunda División sideXerez CD in January 2002, where his impressive scoring rate attracted the attention of neighboursRecreativo de Huelva, which signed him for the2004–05 season.
After having scored twice inLa Liga in his first top-division experience (both in a 3–2 away win againstReal Sociedad on 24 September 2006),[2] Calle was deemed surplus to requirements and finished the campaign in division two withAlbacete Balompié, having another good individual record. In2007–08 he played withGimnàstic de Tarragona, returning the following season to Xerez on loan and contributing eight goals in 1,523 minutes as theAndalusians achieved afirst-ever promotion to the top flight.[3]
After the 2009 Augusttransfer window had already closed, Calle moved toGirona FC also of the second tier.[4] Thus, he had to wait until January of the following year to appear officially for his new team.[5]
Calle stayed in the second division for the2010–11 campaign, with the 31-year-old signing forReal Valladolid in the summer[6] and joining former club Albacete in January 2011.[7] He subsequently representedUD Socuéllamos andCP Villarrobledo, and announced his retirement on 21 June 2017.[8]
