Club career
Barcelona
Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Jardí progressed through the academies of EF la Pastoreta and CE Santes Creus before a move to professional side CF Reus Deportiu in 2012.[2] After four years with Reus, he joined FC Barcelona in 2016, and his career with the youth team started brightly, scoring 13 goals in his first 8 games.[3]
In January 2020, Jordí trained with the first team, alongside fellow youth player Xavier Mbuyamba.[4] He made his senior debut with FC Barcelona B on 17 January 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Jandro Orellana in a 3–1 Segunda División B away loss against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[5]
Real Madrid
After five seasons in Catalonia, and being named captain of the under-19 side in his last year, Jardí rejected a new contract with Barcelona, and took up the offer from arch-rivals Real Madrid in 2021.[6][7][8] In doing so, he became the first player to make the switch from the B-team of Barcelona to Real Madrid Castilla since Kiko Femenía in 2013.[9]
Loan to Racing Ferrol
In July 2022, Jardí was loaned to fellow Primera Federación side Racing de Ferrol, for one year.[10] On 27 May 2023, he scored twice in a 2–0 home win over Celta de Vigo B, which ensured Racing's promotion to Segunda División after a 15-year absence.[11]
Gimnàstic
On 28 July 2023, Jardí signed a three-year contract with fellow third division side Gimnàstic de Tarragona back in his native region.[12] And undisputed starter during his spell, he was the club's top scorer in the 2025–26 campaign, as they narrowly avoided relegation.[13]
Zaragoza
On 8 June 2026, Jardí was announced at Real Zaragoza, recently relegated to division three, on a three-year deal.[14]
