Club career
Racing Santander
Born in Cabezón de la Sal, Cantabria, Jairo was a product of local Racing de Santander's youth ranks. He was promoted to the first team immediately after finishing his development in 2011, by manager Héctor Cúper. He made his first-team and La Liga debut on 27 August, playing the last twelve minutes in a 4–3 away defeat against Valencia CF after coming on as a substitute for Manuel Arana.

On 21 September 2011, the 18-year-old Jairo started his first official game for Racing, in a 0–0 home draw with Real Madrid. On 25 October, he scored his first league goal in a 2–2 draw at Sevilla FC, and went on to start in 14 of his league appearances in his first season (1,248 minutes of action), which ended in relegation.
