Club career

Born in L'Estartit, Girona, Catalonia, Xumetra finished his formation with FC Barcelona, but only played for Tercera División clubs in his first years as senior. In 2006, he joined Girona FC also in that level, being part of the squads who achieved two consecutive promotions in two years.

On 30 August 2008, Xumetra appeared in his first match as a professional, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win over Celta de Vigo for the Segunda División championship.[1] His first goal came on 14 February of the following year, as he scored his side's last in a 3–3 home draw against Albacete Balompié.[2]

On 3 July 2010, Xumetra moved to Elche CF also in the second tier.[3] He scored a career-best seven goals in his second year, repeating the feat in the following season as the Valencian Community side returned to La Liga after 24 years.

On 5 June 2013, Xumetra signed for three seasons with Levante UD.[4] He made his top flight debut on 18 August, starting in a 0–7 loss at Barcelona.[5]

Xumetra scored his first goal in the main category on 29 September 2013, netting the game's only in an away win against CA Osasuna. On 13 July 2016 he agreed to a two-year contract with Real Zaragoza, as a free agent.[6]
