Xavier 'Xavi' Ginard Torres (born 10 November 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UE Olot as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Born in Artà, Balearic Islands, Ginard was a youth product of FC Barcelona's La Masia. He made his debuts as a senior with CE Felanitx in the 2005–06 season, in Tercera División.
Ginard moved to fellow league club CE Manacor in June 2006,[1] and first arrived in Segunda División B in 2009 after agreeing to a deal with CE Sabadell FC.[2] After acting as a backup to David de Navas during the campaign he returned to the fourth level, signing for CE Campos.
On 2 August 2011, Ginard joined CD Atlético Baleares in division three.[3] Initially playing second-fiddle to Biel Ribas and Ian Mackay in his first two years, he was an undisputed starter in his third, appearing in 30 matches as a captain and being also awarded the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the category.
On 28 May 2014, Ginard moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a two-year contract with Superleague Greece side Veria FC.[4] He played his first match as a professional on 24 September, starting in a 4–1 home win against A.E. Ermionida F.C. for the season's Greek Football Cup;[5] in the same competition's next round, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 success at Ergotelis FC.[6]
Ginard made his league debut on 7 February 2015, in a 1–1 home draw against Atromitos FC. After countryman Jonathan López's return in the summer he was deemed surplus to requirements, and his contract was mutually terminated.[7]
