Club career

Early career

Born in Manacor, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Guardiola was a product of Lorca Deportiva CF's youth system, and made his debut as a senior in the 2009–10 season, in Tercera División. In summer 2010, he signed with Segunda División B club Jumilla CF.

In February 2012, Guardiola moved to CF La Nucía in the fourth division. On 1 August, he joined third-tier side Ontinyent CF, moving to Getafe CF B in the same league on 12 January 2013.

Eldense and Alcorcón

On 12 July 2014, Guardiola signed for CD Eldense after scoring nine goals in the 2013–14 campaign while playing for Novelda CF. On 14 May of the following year, he agreed to a three-year deal with AD Alcorcón, which was made effective on 1 July.

Guardiola made his professional debut on 22 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Óscar Plano in a 2–0 Segunda División home win against Córdoba CF. On 24 December, after being rarely used, he terminated his contract.

Barcelona B and offensive tweets

On 28 December 2015, Guardiola signed a one-and-a-half-year deal with FC Barcelona, being assigned to its reserves in division three. However, just hours later, he was released after the discovery of offensive tweets about the club and Catalonia made in 2013. He claimed they were made by a friend as a joke, and that he had not noticed they had been posted.
