Club career

Born in Banyoles, Girona, Catalonia, Serra started his professional career at local UE Figueres in 2000, quickly becoming a regular for the Segunda División B team. After five seasons, he signed with neighbouring Girona FC in the Tercera División. [1]

Girona promoted in 2007, and climbed yet another division the next year, with Serra playing 33 matches. He remained first-choice the following campaign in the Segunda División, [2] but the club's president decided not to renew the player's contract, [3] and he eventually moved to another side in that tier, Levante UD. [4]

After one single season, where he featured in less than half of the matches as the Valencians returned to La Liga, the 32-year-old Serra rejoined Girona. [5] In 2011 he signed for UE Olot also in his native region, retiring three years later. [6] [7]
