Sergi Darder Moll (born 22 December 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Espanyol as a central midfielder.

Club career[]

Espanyol and Málaga[]

Born in Artà, Balearic Islands, Darder played for two local clubs before joining RCD Espanyol in the summer of 2007, aged 13. His first season as a senior was 2011–12, when he competed with the reserves in Tercera División.

In July 2012, Darder signed with Málaga CF, being assigned to the B side also in the fourth tier.[2] 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.[3]

On 14 August 2013, it was announced that Darder was officially promoted to the main squad, along with Fabrice Olinga and Samuel.[4] He made his La Liga debut three days later, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Valencia CF.[5]

Darder signed a professional contract with Málaga on 4 November 2013, running until 2017.[6] He scored his first goal for the Andalusians on 31 March of the following year, the winner in a 2–1 win over Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.[7]

Lyon[]

On 30 August 2015, Darder joined Olympique Lyonnais on a five-year contract, for €12 million.[8] 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.[9]

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).[10]

Return to Espanyol[]

On 1 September 2017, Darder returned to Espanyol after agreeing to a one-year loan with an €8 million buyout clause.[11] 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.[12]

International career[]

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.[13]
