Club career
[edit]Espanyol and Málaga
[edit]Born in Artà, Balearic Islands, Darder played for two local clubs before joining RCD Espanyol in summer 2007, aged 13. His first season as a senior was 2011–12, when he competed with the reserves in the Tercera División.[2][3]
Darder signed for Málaga CF in July 2012, being assigned to the B side also in the fourth tier.[4] The following year, he impressed first-team manager Bernd Schuster who called him for the preseason, where he scored two goals, including one in a 3–2 defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park on 10 August.[5]
On 14 August 2013, it was announced that Darder was officially promoted to the main squad, along with Fabrice Olinga and Samu García.[6] He made his La Liga debut three days later, starting the 1–0 away loss against Valencia CF.[7]
Darder signed a professional contract with Málaga on 4 November 2013, running until 2017.[8] He scored his first goal for the Andalusians on 31 March of the following year, closing a 2–1 win over Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.[9]
Lyon
[edit]On 30 August 2015, Darder joined Olympique Lyonnais on a five-year contract, for €12 million.[10] His Ligue 1 debut arrived on 20 September, as he was replaced midway through the second half of a 1–1 draw at Olympique de Marseille.[11]
Darder scored his second league goal of the season on 28 February 2016 – third overall – netting after a fine individual effort to help impose Paris Saint-Germain F.C. their first loss in 36 games (2–1 at Stade de Gerland).[12]
Return to Espanyol
[edit]On 1 September 2017, Darder returned to Espanyol after agreeing to a one-year loan with an €8 million buyout clause.[13] The move was made permanent on 5 March 2018 after the player made a required number of appearances, and he signed a five-year deal which was rendered effective on 1 July.[14]
Darder scored six times from 40 appearances in the 2020–21 campaign, with his team being crowned Segunda División champions and thus promoting.[15][16] On 25 August 2022, he signed an extension until 2026.[17]
Mallorca
[edit]On 11 August 2023, following Espanyol's relegation, Darder joined fellow top-flight RCD Mallorca on a five-year contract.[18] On 27 February 2024, he scored the decisive penalty in a 5–4 shootout victory against Real Sociedad to qualify his side for the final of the Copa del Rey.[19]
International career
[edit]All youth levels comprised, Darder earned 12 caps for Spain. His debut for the under-21 team arrived on 14 November 2013, as he played the last 35 minutes of a 6–1 away rout of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2015 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[20]
