Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Pedraza was a product of local RCD Espanyol's youth ranks. He spent his first senior season with the B-team in Segunda División B, scoring ten goals but also being relegated. In the following year he upgraded to Segunda División and was loaned to Deportivo Alavés, appearing sparingly as the Basques also dropped down a level.

In the 2010 summer, Pedraza was released by Espanyol, but in October he signed with another club in his native region, third division's CE L'Hospitalet. After three full seasons he returned to the second level, joining CD Numancia on a two-year contract.
