Sergio "Sergi" Guardiola Navarro (born 29 May 1991) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Granada CF B as a midfielder.

Football career

Born in Manacor, Majorca, Balearic Islands,[1] Guardiola was a product of Lorca Deportiva CF's youth system, and made his debuts as a senior in the 2009–10 season, in Tercera División. In the 2010 summer, he signed with Segunda División B club Jumilla CF.

In February 2012, Guardiola moved to CF La Nucía in the fourth division.[2] On 1 August, he joined third level side Ontinyent CF,[3] moving to fellow league team Getafe CF B on 12 January 2013.[4]

On 12 July 2014, Guardiola signed for CD Eldense after scoring nine goals in the 2013–14 campaign while playing for Novelda CF.[5] On 14 May of the following year, he agreed to a three-year deal with AD Alcorcón, which was made effective on 1 July.[6]

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.[7] On 24 December, after being rarely used, he terminated his contract.[8]

On 28 December 2015, Guardiola signed a one-and-a-half year deal with FC Barcelona, being assigned to its reserve team in the third tier.[9] However, just hours later, he was released after the discovery of offensive tweets about the club and Catalonia made in 2013.[10][11] He claimed they were made by a friend as a joke, and that he had not noticed they had been posted.[12]

The following 11 January, Guardiola joined another reserve outfit from the same league, Granada CF B, for the remainder of the campaign.[13] He made his debut later that day, putting his team ahead with a penalty kick in a 1–1 draw at CD San Roque de Lepe.[14]
