Club career

Born in Mutxamel, Valencian Community, Buigues played youth football for local Hércules CF from ages 7 to 12, and finished his development there after a four-year spell with neighbours Valencia CF. On 27 January 2014, he signed a new deal with the club running until 2016.[1]

On 7 June 2014, while still a junior, Buigues made his only appearance as a professional, coming on as a late substitute for Oinatz Aulestia in a 1–2 home loss against FC Barcelona B in the Segunda División.[2] He was definitely promoted to the first team in August, initially as second-choice.[3]

In the 2018 off-season, Buigues joined UD Logroñés of Segunda División B.[4] On 30 January 2020, he moved to CF Talavera de la Reina in the same league following a short stint with amateurs CF Intercity.[5]
