Club career
Born in Barcelona , Catalonia , Olmo emerged through FC Barcelona 's prolific youth ranks at La Masia , and first represented professionally their reserves .[1] On 20 May 2006 he made his debut for the first team, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against Athletic Bilbao as a number of the main squad's players were already resting for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and Barça were already league champions .[2]
Olmo took part in five games for the senior team during the 2006–07 pre-season, and later added a second La Liga appearance, one minute at Getafe CF (1–1 draw).[3] After a loan in the second division with lowly Racing de Ferrol ,[4] he was released by Barcelona and joined another club in that tier, Elche CF .[5]
After a one-year stint at Segunda División B 's CD Puertollano , Olmo returned to the second division after agreeing to a contract with CE Sabadell FC . In 2014 he joined CF Reus Deportiu one level below,[6] helping in their first-ever promotion to the second tier in 2016 .[7]
An ever-present figure for the Rojinegres , Olmo left the club in January 2019 after its ejection from the Liga de Fútbol Profesional .[8] Late in that month, he returned to Elche on a short-term deal.[9]
On 14 August 2019, Olmo became a free agent and returned to Sabadell, with the club now in the third tier.[10] He spent the entire campaign nursing a serious knee injury, contributing only one appearance to his side's promotion.[11]
Olmo terminated his contract on 9 January 2021.[12]
