Club career

Wigan Athletic

Born in Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona, Catalonia, Maffeo had youth spells at Espanyol and Manchester City, alongside his brother Pablo, before joining Wigan Athletic in 2015.[2] On 29 August 2017, Maffeo made his professional debut at the age of 16, during Wigan's EFL Trophy tie against Blackpool. In which, he replaced Callum Lang in the 1–1 draw and scored Wigan's fourth penalty during the 4–3 shootout victory.[3] He scored his first goal for the club in October 2017 in their 4-1 victory over Middlesbrough U23's in the EFL Trophy.[4]

Girona

On 19 August 2019, after 4 years at Wigan, Girona signed Maffeo on a free transfer, returning home to Spain.

Hércules

Maffeo would quickly move on from Girona, after failing to make a first team appearance, and sign for Hércules. He would make his debut, on 15 May 2021, in a 2-1 loss at home to Cornellà. This would be his only appearance for the club.

Sant Julià (loan)

After an unsuccessful spell at Hércules the previous season, Maffeo joined Andorran side Sant Julià on a season-long loan. Maffeo picked up a suspension after receiving five yellow cards in his first 9 league matches for Sant Julià.

Atlètic d'Escaldes

Maffeo signed for Atlètic d'Escaldes ahead of the 2022–23 Primera Divisió season. He would play a pivotal role for Atlètic d'Escaldes, contributing with four assists, which saw them win the Primera Divisió for the first time in their history, as-well-as qualifying for the UEFA Champions League preliminary round for the first ever time.

Manchego Ciudad Real

After an impressive display in Atlètic d'Escaldes‘ Champions League preliminary round tie against Budućnost Podgorica, Maffeo caught the attention of Manchego Ciudad Real, who would sign him on 14 July 2023. Before the start of the league campaign, Maffeo would suffer an ACL injury in a friendly against Fuenlabrada, ruling him out for much of the season.[5]

Personal life

Maffeo is the younger brother of Mallorca player Pablo Maffeo.[6]
