Jordi Cano, who made his debut in the Second Division with Andorra at the age of 31, shares the trajectory of a player who has overcome obstacles and reached the highest category of Spanish football at the latest stage of his career. With five goals in his debut season, Cano has become the team's top scorer and a reference for the fans.
Cano was born in Barcelona on April 1, 1995 and grew up in a football environment with his brothers Alex and Carlos. The three began playing at the Barça school and then joined the youth squad of Espanyol, Cornellá and Europa. At the age of 19, after finishing his youth stage in the Honor Division with Europa, Cano found himself without offers from professional teams. After a couple of trial training sessions with Sants, he was signed by Vista Alegre of the Catalan Second Division thanks to a “connection” from coach Eloy Martínez, who had trained his brother. “At 19 years old, few teams wanted me,” he remembers, and the experience in Catalan underfootball forced him to adapt and work hard to overcome his lack of physicality.
The turning point came in the last two seasons with Europa, where the victory of the Second Federation and the continuity in the same project gave him the necessary confidence to believe in his future. During a period of uncertainty, Cano even studied teaching, thinking about a professional alternative. However, his passion for football took him back to Europe, where he once again shone and established himself as a key player.
The move to the Second Division materialized in August 2025, when Andorra signed him. His debut, on August 15, was memorable: the team won 5‑1 over Ceuta and Cano scored his first goal in the category. The forward remembers the confidence that coach Piqué gave him, who assured him that he would score. “Seeing that they trust you is a plus,” he says, underlining the importance of support from technical management.
With the season underway, Cano leads Andorra's scoring chart with five goals and is projected as one of the club's most important players. The team, of humble character and with limited resources, aspires to consolidate itself in the Second Division and seek promotion to the First. Cano, for his part, remains focused on permanence and continuous improvement, with his sights set on advancing his career despite having reached the top category at the age of 31.
As for his life off the field, Cano values tranquility and disconnection. He enjoys moments with his family, the company of his team, and relaxing activities like playing video games or spending time in coffee shops. At 31 years old, his story shows that perseverance and passion can overcome age and difficulties, and that the opportunity to play in the Second Division remains an achievable dream for those who stick with it.
