Club Career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Figueras had an unsuccessful short spell at Real Madrid where he arrived at age 18 from his hometown club UE Lleida, only playing for the C-side. He then moved to RC Celta de Vigo, initially being assigned to the reserves.

In the 2009–10 season, Figueras was firmly established in Celta's starting XI, with the Galicians in the second division. However, on 17 February 2010, he was sold to Russia's FC Rubin Kazan for €850,000, joining compatriot Cesar Navas.

Figueras returned to his country in 2010–11, being loaned to Real Valladolid in the second level and appearing regularly during the campaign. In the summer of 2011, he joined Rayo Vallecano on loan for the season.

Figueras made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 28 August 2011, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao. He played the full 90 minutes in all the games in the first part of the season but, on 19 January 2012, moved teams and countries again, signing for Club Brugge KV in the Belgian Pro League for four-and-a-half years after successfully passing his medical.
