Club career
Born in Santa Lucía de Tirajana, Canary Islands, Mandi made his debuts as a senior with UD Vecindario in 2007. In the 2008 summer he moved to Villarreal CF, representing both its C and B-teams.
On 2 February 2010, Mandi joined SD Ponferradina on loan until June.[1] With the Castile and León club he was promoted to Segunda División, being regularly used during his six-month spell.
On 15 July 2010, after rejecting a new contract at Ponfe,[2] Mandi signed for Real Madrid Castilla also in the third level.[3] After again winning promotion to the second level, he moved to Sporting de Gijón on 22 June 2012 after agreeing to a four-year deal.[4]
Mandi made his professional debut on 2 September 2012, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Racing de Santander.[5] He scored his first goal on 5 January of the following year, netting the first in a 1–1 draw at Recreativo de Huelva.[6]
On 31 August 2015, Mandi terminated his contract with Sporting[7] and signed for Elche CF just hours later.[8]
