Club career

Pujol was promoted to local FC Barcelona's first team in 1965, at only 18. In his first three seasons, however, he could only amass ten first division appearances combined, in which he managed to score five times. For the 1968–69 season, he would be loaned to Catalonia neighbours CE Sabadell FC, helping the side not only avoid top level relegation but finish in a best-ever fourth place, with the player scoring eight goals.

Returned to the Camp Nou, Pujol continued to be irregularly used - 25 games in 1970–71, 28 in the other three seasons combined - and eventually left for CD Castellón, in a disastrous first division season, as he appeared rarely for the Valencian club, which also got relegated. He closed out his career in his native region, after one year with lowly UE Sant Andreu.

In the latter part of the 80's, Pujol coached FC Barcelona Atlètic, suffering relegation from division two in his second year. He then moved to former side Sabadell, being fired late in 1990, with the club in the same category.

International career

On 15 October 1969, Pujol earned his sole cap for Spain, which consisted of the second half of a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Finland, in a match played in La Línea de la Concepción, with the score already at 5–0 (eventually 6–0).
