Club career
Mallorca
Born in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Bigas made his debut as a senior with CD Montuïri in 2009, in the Tercera División. On 9 July 2010, he signed for Segunda División B club CD Atlético Baleares.[2]
Bigas joined RCD Mallorca on 20 June 2011, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[3] He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 October, starting in a 2–2 away draw against CA Osasuna as a left-back.[4]
On 28 August 2012, Bigas renewed his contract until 2015, being definitely promoted to the main squad and given the number 17 jersey.[5] On 22 October he scored his first professional goal, opening the 3–2 loss at Sevilla FC.[6] He was occasionally used as a defensive midfielder during the season, as his side suffered relegation.[7][8]
Las Palmas and Eibar
On 13 July 2015, Bigas agreed to a two-year deal at UD Las Palmas, newly promoted to the top flight.[9] He scored a career-best four times in the 2016–17 campaign, in a 14th-place finish.[10]
On 31 July 2018, after being relegated, Bigas was loaned to SD Eibar of the same tier, with a buyout clause.[11] The following May, he joined them permanently.[10]
Elche
On 7 July 2021, Elche CF reached an agreement with Eibar for the transfer of Bigas, who joined the former on a two-year contract.[12]
