Club career

Valencia

Born in El Campello, Alicante, Valencian Community, Vidal joined Valencia CF's youth academy in 2009 from Hércules CF. ^[1] He made his debut as a senior with the reserves on 23 March 2014, coming on as a second-half substitute for José Gayà in a 2–0 away loss to Atlético Levante UD in the Segunda División B. ^[2]

Vidal scored his first senior goal on 14 January 2017, his team's second in the 2–1 home win against RCD Espanyol B. ^[3] He featured in 42 matches during the season, as his team missed out on promotion in the play-offs. ^[4] On 4 May, he renewed his contract until 2020. ^[5]

On 18 August 2017, Vidal made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting in a 1–0 home victory over UD Las Palmas. ^[6] He scored his first goal in the competition on 24 September, helping to beat hosts Real Sociedad 3–2. ^[7]

Osasuna

On 13 July 2018, Vidal signed a four-year deal with Segunda División club CA Osasuna, with Valencia retaining 50% of his federative rights. ^[8] He played 38 games in his debut campaign, adding five assists in a return to the top tier as champions. ^{[9] [10]}

On 26 January 2024, after losing his starting spot to Jesús Areso, ^[11] Vidal moved to fellow top-flight RCD Mallorca on loan for the remainder of the season. ^[12] Upon returning, he was again a backup before terminating his contract on 22 January 2025. ^[13]

Oviedo

Hours after leaving Osasuna, Vidal signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Real Oviedo in the second division. ^[14]
