Club career

Born in Banyoles, Girona, Catalonia, Serra started his professional career at local UE Figueres in 2000, quickly becoming a regular for the third division team. After five seasons, he moved to neighbours Girona FC in the fourth level.

Girona promoted in 2007, and climbed yet another division in the next year, with Serra playing 33 matches. He maintained first-choice status in the following campaign, in the second tier, but the club decided not to renew the player's deal,[1] and he eventually moved to another side in that level, Levante UD.[2]

After one single season, where he featured in less than half of the matches as the Valencians returned to La Liga, the 32-year-old Serra rejoined Girona.[3] In 2011 he signed for UE Olot also in his native region, where he played out the remainder of his career.[4]
