Born in Catalonia, he began playing football with CE Europa in 1917. Along with the likes of Mauricio, Cros and Alcázar, he was part of the attacking front of the great CE Europa side of the twenties, that won the Catalan Championship in 1923 after beating Barcelona 1-0 in a play-off title-decider, and reached the 1923 Copa del Rey Final, where they were beaten 0-1 by Athletic Bilbao, courtesy of a goal from Travieso.[2]
Between 1917 and 1930 he played at least 8 games and scored at least 2 goals for the Catalan XI. However, records from the era do not always include accurate statistics and he may have played and scored more. Together with Paulino Alcántara, Josep Samitier and Ricardo Zamora, he was part of the great Catalonia side of the twenties that won two Prince of Asturias Cups, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[3] In the 1923–24 edition, he scored the winning goal in the quarter-finals against Gipuzkoa, and in the 1926 edition, he netted a goal in the second leg of the final against Asturias to help Catalonia win the match 4-3.[4]
