*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Born in Manresa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Epitié spent the vast majority of his senior career in Spain, but never appeared in higher than the third division.
He represented CE Manresa, FC Andorra, CD La Oliva,[2] ACD San Marcial, CD Logroñés, Jerez Industrial CF, Algeciras CF, AD Mar Menor-San Javier, CF Peralada, UD Poblense,[3][4][5] CD Binéfar, CF Vilanova (sharing teams with sibling Juan in the latter), CD Montcada, CF Igualada, UE Rubí, CE Europa[6] and UE Castelldefels.
As many players born in Spain, Epitié chose to represent Equatorial Guinea through ancestry – his father hailed from that country, while his mother was Spanish. He made his senior debut in 2006.
Epitié's older brother, Juan, was also a footballer – and a forward. He too spent most of his professional career in Spain, and also appeared for Equatorial Guinea internationally.[7]
