He began playing football at FC Martinenc, in Barcelona, from where he was signed by
RCD Espanyol , in early 1980s. At Espanyol he played most of his career as a professional footballer but before playing for the first team he went out on loan at Sabadell (1980-1981 season) and later at Sant Andreu (1981–1982).He came back after those short spells at lower Catalan clubs in 1982 and remained at the club for six season in
Primera División . During that time, playing as a midfielder, scored a total of 29 goals in the 140 games he played wearing the "blanquiazul". One of his best memories while playing for Espanyol is the hat-tick he scored againstFC Barcelona , in a match at which the "pericos" won for 5-3.
