Club career

Born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz, Andalusia, Salvi finished his graduation with Sevilla FC, making his senior debuts with the C-team on 27 April 2010 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–2 Tercera División away loss against UD Los Barrios. In the 2010–11 campaign, he appeared in two matches for the reserves in Segunda División B, but resumed his spell at the club with the C's.

In the 2012 summer Salvi joined hometown club Atlético Sanluqueño CF, also in the third level. On 28 June 2014, after the club's relegation, he moved to fellow league team CF Villanovense.[1]

On 5 July 2015, Salvi signed for Cádiz CF, still in the third division.[2] He scored a career-best seven goals during the campaign, as his side returned to Segunda División after six years, and renewed his contract for four years on 9 August 2016.[3]

Salvi made his professional debut on 19 August 2016, starting in a 1–1 away draw against UD Almería.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 3 September, netting his team's second in a 2–3 loss at CD Mirandés.[5]

On 5 November 2017, Salvi scored a brace in a 2–0 away defeat of Almería.[6] Salvi became the top passer of Cádiz CF in 2019 with a total of 8 assists. Two of them in the matches of the previous 2018-19 season and six in the current 2019-20 season.[7]

Personal life

Salvi's younger brother Ezequiel is also a footballer. A right back, he also represented Sanluqueño.[8]
