Club career
Born in Palma de Mallorca, Juanan played youth football for three clubs, including local RCD Mallorca from ages 17 to 18. He signed with Deportivo de La Coruña in the summer of 2007,[1] but appeared almost exclusively with the B team over the course of two Segunda División B seasons, being relegated in the second. With the main squad, he featured 21 minutes in a UEFA Cup match against AaB Fodbold, coming on as a substitute for Filipe Luís in an eventual 1–3 home loss in the round of 32 on 26 February 2009.[2]
After his contract with the Galicians ended, Juanan joined another side in the third division, Real Madrid Castilla,[1] appearing in 29 games (all starts) in his second year as the Real Madrid reserves fell short in the promotion playoffs. In late June 2011, he moved to Germany and signed for Fortuna Düsseldorf.[3][4]
Juanan made his official debut with Fortuna on 24 July 2011, playing three minutes in a 1–1 2. Bundesliga draw at SC Paderborn 07.[5] He scored his first goal in the competition on 16 September in a 4–2 away win over FC Erzgebirge Aue,[6] and contributed another one[7] in 19 matches as his team returned to the Bundesliga after a 15-year absence.[1]
In the following seasons, Juanan represented in quick succession Újpest FC (Hungary), Recreativo de Huelva and CD Leganés,[8] being relegated from the second tier with the second club and only appearing in the Copa del Rey with the third.[9] On 3 February 2016, he signed with Rayo OKC from the North American Soccer League,[10] being released from his contract on 11 July.[11]
Juanan joined I-League champions Bengaluru FC on 8 August 2016, on a one-year deal.[12] On 3 March 2018, the 31-year-old further renewed his link until 2020,[13] agreeing to a new two-year extension that year.[14]
On 26 July 2021, Juanan signed a one-year contract with Hyderabad FC also of the Indian Super League.[15] He won that tournament for the second time in his debut campaign, helping to defeat Kerala Blasters FC on penalties.[16]
