He has remained at that level throughout his professional career, making more than 300 appearances.

Standing in their way are the likes of Atletico Baleares and UD Ibiza, as well as the reserve sides of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.
There is now an even greater connection between Sabadell and Menorca, after they signed three young players from Atletico Villacarlos’ successful youth side.
Xavi Costa and Alex Riudavets from Es Castell and Pere Pons from Ferreries have signed for Sabadell for the 2020/21 season, giving them their first taste of living away from the island and an opportunity to play higher up the football pyramid.
It remains to be seen whether they can emulate the solid career of Pedro Capo.
