Club career

Born in Cabra del Camp, Tarragona, Catalonia,[1] Calavera finished his youth formation with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, and was called up to the first team by manager Santi Castillejo for the pre-season in 2013. He made his senior debut on 25 August of that year, starting in a 1–2 home defeat against Lleida Esportiu for the Segunda División B championship.[2]

Two days later, Calavera renewed his link with Nàstic, signing until 2016,[3] and was definitely promoted to the main squad, as a replacement to Sporting de Gijón B-bound Alberto Benito. However, he spent the whole campaign mainly as a backup to Juanjo, as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 19 January 2015, after being again second-choice (now to another new signing, Gerard Valentín), Calavera was loaned to UE Olot also in the third level, until June.[4] On 9 September he made his professional debut, starting in a 2–2 home draw against Girona FC for the season's Copa del Rey (5–4 success on penalties).[5]

On 27 September 2015 Calavera made his Segunda División debut, coming on as a half-time substitute for Xisco Campos in a 0–0 away draw against Real Valladolid. On 17 October he scored his first goal in the category, netting the first in a 2–1 home success over Bilbao Athletic.[6]
