Club career

Pons came through the youth ranks at AD Taraguilla in Spain, breaking into the senior team in 2013 before moving to his home country of Gibraltar to sign for Lincoln Red Imps. While studying at University of Central Lancashire, he remained contracted to Lincoln, occasionally playing for the first team while also representing UCLan's football team. Returning to Gibraltar after his studies, he signed for Gibraltar United, but this stay would be short lived as he would re-sign for Lincoln in January 2017. Again, he would feature primarily in the reserve teams, appearing on the bench several times but not playing. In August 2019, Pons signed for St Joseph's. [2] On 4 May 2023, Pons extended his contract with St Joseph's until 30 June 2024. [3]

International career

Pons has been capped 5 times for the Gibraltar national under-19 football team, making his debut in 2013. In 2015, he played for a development squad at the 2015 Island Games, scoring once as Gibraltar finished a disappointing 10th place. [4] Having been called up to several senior squads without playing, he finally made his debut as a substitute for the senior team on August 31, 2017, in an eventual 9–0 defeat to Belgium.
