Template:Spanish name Ander Bardají Maiza (born 20 April 1995) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for SD Ejea on loan from SD Huesca as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Lasarte-Oria, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Bardají graduated with Real Sociedad's youth setup. On 1 September 2012, aged only 17, he made his debut as a senior, appearing with the reserves in a 2–1 home win against Real Zaragoza B for the Segunda División B championship.

Bardají was definitely promoted to the B-side on 17 July 2013, after already making seven appearances for it in the previous campaign.[1] On 16 April of the following year he renewed his link with the Txuri-urdin, signing until 2018.[2]

Initially promoted to the main squad for the 2014–15 season after the departure of Claudio Bravo to FC Barcelona,[3] Bardají was only named third-choice due to the arrival of Gerónimo Rulli. After Eñaut Zubikarai's release in June 2015, he was called up to the first team by manager David Moyes for the pre-season,[4] but was only utilized for the B-side after the signing of Oier Olazábal.

Bardají was definitely promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2016–17 campaign,[5] but remained as a backup to Rulli and new signing Toño Ramírez. On 24 July 2017 he cut ties with Real,[6] and signed a three-year deal with Segunda División side SD Huesca just hours later.[7]

Bardají made his professional debut on 6 September 2017, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Real Valladolid, for the season's Copa del Rey.[8] He achieved promotion to La Liga at the end of the campaign, but acting as a third-choice behind Álex Remiro and Roberto Santamaría.

On 14 August 2018, Bardají was loaned to CF Fuenlabrada in the third division for one year,[9] but spent the campaign as a backup to Biel Ribas as his side achieved promotion to the second level. The following 31 July, he moved to fellow third tier side SD Ejea also in a temporary deal.[10]
