Club career

edit

Barcelona

edit

Born in Sant Celoni, Barcelona, Catalonia, Planas started playing football for his hometown club, moving to FC Barcelona's youth academy, La Masia, at age 9. After progressing through its ranks he was promoted to the reserves in 2009, going on to spend several seasons in the Segunda División with them.[1]

In late November/early December 2012, Planas appeared in his only two competitive games with the first team: he made his debut in a 3–1 home win over Deportivo Alavés in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (6–1 on aggregate), featuring the last 20 minutes of the match in place of Adriano.[2] The following week, as the Blaugrana were already qualified as first in their UEFA Champions League group, he started against S.L. Benfica in a 0–0 draw, also at the Camp Nou.[3]

Celta

edit

On 5 June 2014, Planas was released by Barcelona,[4] but on the same day he joined RC Celta de Vigo on a three-year deal.[5] He made his La Liga debut on 24 August, playing the entirety of the 3–1 home victory over Getafe CF.[6]

Planas' contract was not extended at the end of the 2016–17 campaign, and he left Balaídos with 59 appearances in all competitions to his credit.[7]

Girona

edit

On 13 July 2017, free agent Planas signed a three-year contract with newly-promoted Girona FC.[8] He spent the better part of his first season dealing with injury problems.[9][10]

On 22 August 2019, after suffering relegation, Planas severed ties with the club.[11]

AEK Larnaca

edit

Immediately after leaving Girona, Planas joined AEK Larnaca FC of the Cypriot First Division.[12][13] In June 2021, having often been injured and also criticised for his performances,[14][15] he announced his retirement aged 30.[16]
