Club career

Born in Horta de Sant Joan, Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Badía all but spent his career in his country in the lower leagues.[2] The exception to this was in the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons, when he appeared for CD Guadalajara in the Segunda División.[3] [4] [5] [6]

Badía signed with Polish club Piast Gliwice in February 2014, from SD Noja.[7] He made his Ekstraklasa debut on the 17th, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Wisła Kraków.[8]

In the 2018–19 campaign, Badía contributed 21 matches and two goals[9] [10] as Piast won the first national championship in their 74-year history.[11] During his spell at the Stadion Miejski, he made more than 200 competitive appearances.[2]

Badía returned to both Catalonia and amateur football on 14 July 2021, with the 31-year-old joining FC Ascó.[12] After retiring, he took a job at a vulcanization facility.[13]
