Club career
editBorn in Málaga, Andalusia, Albiol graduated from local Málaga CF's youth system. He made his professional debut with the reserves on 21 May 2006, playing the entire second half of a 4–1 Segunda División away loss against Real Madrid Castilla.[1]
After spending five seasons in the Tercera División (where he represented Polideportivo Ejido B, Murallas de Ceuta FC and Vélez CF), Albiol first arrived in the Segunda División B in 2011, signing with Sporting Villanueva Promesas.[2] He continued to compete at the latter level the following years, with Lucena CF (two stints),[3][4] La Roda CF,[5] FC Jumilla and Ontinyent CF.[6]
On 28 March 2019, after the club's dissolution, Albiol left Ontinyent.[7] He remained without a club until February 2020, when he joined Lorca FC on a short-term contract.[8]
