Club career
Born in Salt, Girona, Catalonia, Pitu emerged through local – and national – giants FC Barcelona's youth ranks,[1] making his senior debut in the 2005–06 season with the reserves in the Segunda División B. On 20 May 2006 he played his first and only La Liga match, coming on as a substitute for Ludovic Giuly in the second half of a 3–1 loss against Athletic Bilbao at the San Mamés Stadium, as the Frank Rijkaard-led side had already been crowned league champions.[2]
Subsequently, after one season with Barcelona neighbours Girona FC in the Tercera División, Pitu signed with Segunda División club UD Las Palmas,[3] appearing sparingly for the Canary Islands team over the course of one and a half seasons. He spent the following five years in the third tier, returning to the second in 2014 after scoring eight goals in 40 games – play-offs included – for UE Llagostera.[4]
