Oriol started playing with amateurs Pobla de Mafumet CF, having a loan spell with CF Reus Deportiu whilst on contract with the former. In 2008–09, still in Catalonia, he played one third division season with UE Sant Andreu.
In the summer of 2009, Oriol moved to FC Barcelona, helping the reserve side return to the second level, appearing in 29 games and scoring three goals.
