Jordi Figueras Montel (born 16 May 1987), known simply as Jordi, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for German club Karlsruher SC as a central defender.
Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Jordi had an unsuccessful short spell at Real Madrid where he arrived at age 18 from his hometown club UE Lleida, only playing for the C-side. He then moved to Celta de Vigo in the summer of 2008, initially being assigned to the reserves.
In the 2009–10 season, Jordi was firmly established in Celta's starting XI, with the Galicians in the second division. However, on 17 February 2010, he was sold to Russia's FC Rubin Kazan for €850,000, joining compatriot César Navas.
Jordi returned to his country in 2010–11, being loaned to Real Valladolid in the second level and appearing regularly during the campaign. In the 2011 summer, in the same predicament, he joined Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, in a season-long move.
Jordi made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 28 August 2011, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao. He played the full 90 minutes in all the games in the first part of the season but, on 19 January 2012, moved teams and countries again, signing for Club Brugge KV in the Belgian Pro League for four-and-a-half years after successfully passing his medical.
