He joined the youth ranks of CE Sabadell in 1917, and two years later, he reached the first team, where he shared a dressing room with his younger brothers Francisco, known as Tena II, and Josep, known as Tena III. In March 1928, together with his brother Francisco and at the same time as Crisant Bosch and Julio Káiser, he signed for Espanyol.[4] He played a pivotal role in helping the club to win the 1928-29 Catalonia championship and to reach the 1929 Copa del Rey Final, which they won after beating Real Madrid 2-1.[2] In 1932 he returned briefly to Sabadell before ending his career.
