Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Araújo made his debut as a senior with CF Badalona's reserves in 2007, in the regional leagues. After subsequently representing UDA Gramenet B, he signed for Tercera División side CF Montañesa in July 2009.[1]

Araújo first arrived in Segunda División B on 1 July 2011, after agreeing to a contract with UE Sant Andreu.[2] On 8 July 2014, after being an undisputed starter, he moved to fellow league team SD Compostela.[3]

On 24 July 2015 Araújo joined CD Eldense, still in the third division.[4] The following 29 January he signed for another reserve team, Valencia CF Mestalla in the same category, for 25,000.[5]

On 3 July 2017, after impressing with Mestalla in the 2017 Segunda División B play-offs, Araújo agreed to a contract with Albacete Balompié, newly promoted to Segunda División.[6] He made his professional debut on 20 August, coming on as a late substitute for Jon Erice.[7]

Araújo scored his first professional goal on 24 September 2017, netting the winner in a 2–1 home defeat of Real Oviedo. The following 31 January, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with fellow league team Córdoba CF.[8]

On 19 July 2019, Araújo signed a one-year deal with FC Cartagena in division three, after cutting ties with the Blanquiverdes.[9]
