Orlandi started his senior career with Deportivo Alavés, only managing two appearances for the first team during his two-year spell, with the Basque in Segunda División. In the 2005 summer, he was loaned to hometown side FC Barcelona, also being almost exclusively associated with the reserves.
On 20 May 2006, as Barça was already crowned La Liga champions, Orlandi made his first - and only - league appearance for the Catalans' first team, pitching in at left back in a 1–3 away loss against Athletic Bilbao. He also appeared in the club's Copa Catalunya win against RCD Espanyol, courtesy of manager Frank Rijkaard.
In late September 2007, after an unsuccessful trial with Greek club Aris Thessaloniki FC, free agent Orlandi signed for Swansea City, moving to the Liberty Stadium on a one-year deal as the club was managed by countryman Roberto Martínez. In July 2010, he was linked to fellow Football League Championship side Leicester City, who had just appointed former Swans boss Paulo Sousa as their new manager,[1] but nothing came of it, and the player renewed his link for a further two years.[2]
On 4 July 2011, after having helped Swansea to its first-ever Premier League promotion, contributing with 20 games, Orlandi penned a new one-year contract extension with the club.[2]
