Club career

Born in Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, Barcelona, Catalonia, Aimar made his senior debut with EC Granollers in the regional leagues on 29 October 2006, starting in a 1–0 away win against UE Cornellà.[1] He signed with fellow league team CF Peralada in 2007, and joined Tercera División side CD Banyoles in July 2008.

In the summer of 2009, Aimar moved to UE Llagostera, freshly promoted to the fourth level.[2] In 2011, after the club's promotion to Segunda División B, he renewed his contract,[3] but struggled to appear regularly due to a pubalgia.

Aimar featured sparingly during the 2013–14 season, as Llagostera were promoted to Segunda División for the first time ever. He played his first match as a professional on 23 August 2014, starting in a 0–2 away loss to UD Las Palmas;[4] he scored his first goal in the competition on 7 February of the following year, netting the game's only in a home victory over Recreativo de Huelva.[5]
