Career

[edit]

Born in Martorell, Barcelona, Catalonia, Roca joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, after representing CF Badalona, UDA Gramenet and AE Martorell.[1] He left the former in 2016, and played for UFB Jàbac Terrassa and CF Damm before moving to RCD Espanyol in 2019.[2][3]

Roca made his senior debut with the reserves on 17 January 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Gori in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against AE Prat.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 18 December, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over SD Huesca B in the Segunda División RFEF.[4]

On 15 March 2022, Roca renewed his contract with the Pericos until 2024.[5] He made his first team debut on 8 September 2023, replacing Pere Milla late into a 4–1 Segunda División away routing of Levante UD.[6][7]

On 7 November 2023, Roca further extended his link with Espanyol until 2026, with an option for a further year.[8] He made his La Liga debut the following 19 August, replacing Alejo Véliz in a 1–0 away loss to Real Valladolid.

On 19 August 2025, Roca agreed to another contract extension with Espanyol, now until 2028,[9] and became a permanent member of the first team after being assigned the number 20 jersey. However, he only made four starts during the season, and was loaned to Segunda División side RCD Mallorca on 24 July 2026.[10]
