Born in Callosa de Segura, Alicante, Valencian Community, Pacheco joined Villarreal CF's youth setup from Kelme CF.[1] He made his senior debut with affiliate club CD Roda on 11 November 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 Tercera División away loss against CD Eldense.[2]
In 2020, after finishing his formation, Pacheco was assigned to Villarreal's C-team also in the fourth division, but also featured for the reserves in Segunda División B during the season. On 29 January 2021, he renewed his contract with the Yellow Submarine until 2025.[3]
Pacheco featured regularly for the B-side during the 2021–22 campaign, as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División. He made his professional debut in the category on 29 August 2022, replacing Diego Collado in a 3–0 away loss against Granada CF.[4]
Pacheco scored his first professional goal on 7 October 2022, but in a 3–1 loss at Sporting de Gijón. On 8 July of the following year, he moved to fellow second division side Albacete Balompié on a four-year contract.[5]
