Club career

Girona

Born in Riumors, Girona, Catalonia, Juncà was a product of Girona FC's youth system. He made his official debut with the first team on 17 December 2011, playing one minute in a 3–2 home win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the Segunda División.[2]

The following two seasons, Juncá played for both the reserves and farm team CF Riudellots. Returned for 2014–15, he scored his first goal as a professional on 14 September 2014, closing the 1–1 away draw with Sporting de Gijón.[3]

Eibar

Juncà signed a three-year deal with La Liga club SD Eibar on 28 July 2015, after being terminated at the Estadi Montilivi.[4] He made his debut in the competition on 24 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Saúl Berjón in the 3–1 away victory over Granada CF.[5]

Celta

On 4 June 2018, the free agent Juncà agreed to a five-year contract at fellow top-flight side RC Celta de Vigo.[6] He contributed 21 matches in his debut campaign for the last team above the relegation zone,[7] but subsequently spent nearly two years on the sidelines due to several injury problems.[8]

Girona return

Juncà returned to Girona on 26 July 2021, having joined on a one-year deal.[9] He totalled 28 appearances in his second spell,[10] winning promotion to the top tier in the playoffs.[11]

Wisła Kraków

Having started the 2022–23 season without a team, Juncà signed a six-month deal with Polish I liga club Wisła Kraków on 29 December 2022.[12][13] He made one Polish Cup appearance during the following campaign, playing the first half of a 2–1 first-round win over Lechia Gdańsk after extra time[14] as his team went on to win the competition.[15]

After not having his contract extended, Juncà left in June 2024.[16]

Gimnàstic

On 14 January 2025, after a short period at Inter Club d'Escaldes, Juncà returned to his home country and signed an 18-month contract with Primera Federación side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[17]
