Early life
editGarrido is a native of Valencia, Spain, and joined the youth academy of Spanish side Valencia as a youth player.[1]
Club career
editGarrido started his senior career with La Liga side Valencia, and initially mainly played when defender Curro Torres was unable to play or was rested.[2] During the 2002–03 season, despite being described as playing at a "good level" for Valencia, the winter signing of French defender Anthony Réveillère caused him to be sent on loan.[3] He helped Valencia win the 2003–04 UEFA Cup, the 2003–04 Copa del Rey, and two league titles.[4][5] In 2002, he was sent on loan to Spanish second tier side Córdoba.[6] However, he suffered an ankle injury while playing for the club.[7]
In 2004, he was sent on loan to Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne.[8][9] However, while playing for the club, he failed to adapt and was known for his poor performances and marking ability.[10] That winter, without the club's permission, he played for a Spanish regional representative team and broke a ligament.[11] In 2006, he almost signed for Spanish side Lorca, but the transfer never happened.[12]
At the age of 27-seven, he retired from professional football due to a knee injury.[13] In total, he made 22 appearances in the La Liga and ten appearances in the Ligue 1.[14]
