Jaume Jardí

Jaume Jardí Poyato (born 7 April 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

Barcelona
Born in Reus, Tarragona, Catalonia, Jardí progressed through the academies of EF la Pastoreta and CE Santes Creus before a move to professional side CF Reus Deportiu in 2012. After four years with Reus, he joined FC Barcelona in 2016, and his career with the youth team started brightly, scoring 13 goals in his first 8 games.

In January 2020, Jordí trained with the first team, alongside fellow youth player Xavier Mbuyamba. He made his senior debut with FC Barcelona B on 17 January 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Jandro Orellana in a 3–1 Segunda División B away loss against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

Real Madrid
After five seasons in Catalonia, and being named captain of the under-19 side in his last year, Jardí rejected a new contract with Barcelona, and took up the offer from arch-rivals Real Madrid in 2021. In doing so, he became the first player to make the switch from the B-team of Barcelona to Real Madrid Castilla since Kiko Femenía in 2013.

Loan to Racing Ferrol
In July 2022, Jardí was loaned to fellow Primera Federación side Racing de Ferrol, for one year. On 27 May 2023, he scored twice in a 2–0 home win over Celta de Vigo B, which ensured Racing's promotion to Segunda División after a 15-year absence.

Gimnàstic
On 28 July 2023, Jardí signed a three-year contract with fellow third division side Gimnàstic de Tarragona back in his native region.

International career
Jardí has represented Spain at under-18 level.
