Football career

After an unsuccessful short spell at Real Madrid (where he arrived at age 18 from his hometown club, UE Lleida) – only playing for the C side – Jordi moved to Celta de Vigo in the summer of 2008, initially being assigned to the reserves.

In 2009–10, he was firmly established in Celta's starting XI, with the Galicians in Segunda División. However, on 17 February 2010, he was sold to Russia's FC Rubin Kazan for €850,000, joining compatriot César Navas.

Jordi returned to his country in the 2010–11 season, being loaned to Real Valladolid in the second division, appearing regularly during the campaign. In the 2011 summer, in the same predicament, he joined Rayo Vallecano in the top level, in a season-long move.
