Club career

Born in Reus, Catalonia, he moved to Gràcia district of Barcelona at the age of 9. He began playing football at the lesser teams of CE Europa in 1914, but it only took him three years to reach the first team of the club. He was a member of the great CE Europa side of the 1920s that included figures such as Pelaó, Pellicer, Alcázar and Cros, helping the team win the Catalan Championship in 1923 and to reach the 1923 Copa del Rey Final, where they were beaten 0-1 by Athletic Bilbao.[3] He was kept away from the pitch by a long injury of six months, making his return in March 1929.[4]

International career

Being a CE Europa, he was eligible to play for the Catalan national team, and he was a member of the team that won the last edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF,[5] starting in both legs of a two-legged title-decider against Asturias, with both ending in victories to the Catalan side.[6]
