Club career

edit

Xairo is a youth product of hometown side UD Ibiza, having previously played for PE Sant Jordi.[1] In February 2023, he and Juvenil teammates Álex Sánchez and Sergi Chazarra started training with the main squad.[2]

Xairo made his first team – and professional – debut at the age of 18 on 27 May 2023, coming on as a late substitute for Williams Alarcón in a 1–1 Segunda División away draw against Málaga CF, as both sides were already relegated.[3][4] In August 2024, after finishing his formation, he returned to his former club Sant Jordi and was assigned to the main squad in Tercera Federación.
