Club career

Espanyol

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Badia was a youth product of local RCD Espanyol. He spent his first seasons as a senior competing in Segunda División B and Tercera División with the B team. [2]

On 11 January 2012, Badia made his official debut for the main squad, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–2 home win against Córdoba CF in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (5–4 on aggregate). [3] He continued to be almost exclusively associated with the B's during his spell. [2]

Reus

Badia signed with Granada CF in July 2013, being assigned to the reserves in the third division. [4] On 20 January of the following year, after acting as a backup to Stole Dimitrievski, he terminated his contract with the Andalusians and moved to CF Reus Deportiu of the same league. [5]

Badia was an undisputed starter for the club in the following campaigns, achieving promotion to Segunda División in 2016. [6] [7] On 28 December 2018, he was one of five players to leave due to unpaid wages. [8]

Elche

On 5 January 2019, Badia signed a six-month contract with Elche CF also of the second tier. [9] He made 42 appearances – playoffs included – in the 2019–20 campaign, in a return to La Liga after a five-year absence. [10]

Badia made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 26 September 2020, in a 0–3 home loss to Real Sociedad. [11] [12] He remained first-choice the following years, and in August 2022 renewed his link until 2025. [13]

On 7 January 2024, after losing his status to new signing Miguel San Román, [14] Badia was loaned to fellow second-division side Real Zaragoza for the remainder of the season. [15]
