Club career

Born in Banyoles, Girona, Catalonia, Serra started his professional career at local UE Figueres in 2000, quickly becoming a regular for the Segunda División B team. After five seasons, he signed with neighbouring Girona FC in the Tercera División.[1]

Girona promoted in 2007, and climbed yet another division the next year, with Serra playing 33 matches. He remained first-choice the following campaign in the Segunda División,[2] but the club's president decided not to renew the player's contract,[3] and he eventually moved to another side in that tier, Levante UD.[4]

After one single season, where he featured in less than half of the matches as the Valencians returned to La Liga, the 32-year-old Serra rejoined Girona.[5] In 2011 he signed for UE Olot also in his native region, retiring three years later.[6][7]
