# Jordi Figueras

Jordi Figueras Montel (born 16 May 1987) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.

## Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Figueras had 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. He then moved to RC Celta de Vigo, initially being assigned to the reserves.
In the 2009–10 season, Figueras was firmly established in Celta's starting XI, with the Galicians in the Segunda División. However, on 17 February 2010, he was sold to Russia's FC Rubin Kazan for €850,000, joining compatriot César Navas.
Figueras returned to his country in 2010–11, being loaned to second-tier Real Valladolid. In the summer of 2011, he joined Rayo Vallecano on loan for the season.
Figueras made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 28 August 2011, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao. He played the full 90 minutes in all the games in the first part of the season but, on 19 January 2012, moved teams and countries again, signing for Club Brugge KV of the Belgian First Division A for four and a half years after successfully passing his medical.
Figueras returned to Spain in January 2013, serving a small loan with Rayo and subsequently joining Real Betis on a permanent basis. He scored once from 25 matches in his debut campaign with the latter, which ended in top-division relegation, then started in all his 39 appearances the following year in an immediate promotion as champions.
On 28 July 2016, following a brief spell in the Turkish Süper Lig with Eskişehirspor, Figueras agreed to a two-year contract with German club Karlsruher SC. He switched to the Indian Super League on 9 September 2017, signing for ATK and being appointed captain following an injury to Robbie Keane.
On 22 June 2018, Figueras returned to his native country and joined Racing de Santander for three years.
