As a member of this club, Olivella won the Catalan Championship in 1923 after beating Barcelona 1-0 in a play-off title-decider, and started in the 1923 Copa del Rey Final, where they were beaten 0-1 by Athletic Bilbao, courtesy of a goal from Travieso.[2][3] He joined FC Barcelona in the 1926-27 season, but in March 1927 he moved to UE Sants, where he ended his career in the 1927-28 season.[citation needed]
