As a player he made his first team debut in 1986/87, after coming up from the academy. The
following season he went to Handbol Palautordera, where he stayed two seasons before coming back to
Barça in 1989/91 as third choice keeper. He won the European Cup with the Catalan outfit in
1990/91. A year later he set off again around the Asobal League, spending three seasons at Teucro
