Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Oliván graduated with FC Barcelona's youth ranks. In August 2013, before even appearing as a senior he moved abroad, signing a three-year deal with Portuguese side S.C. Braga and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Liga.[2]

Oliván played his first match as a professional on 14 September 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 away loss against C.D. Feirense.[3] He rescinded his link with the club in January of the following year,[4] and subsequently joined PFC CSKA Sofia in the following month.[5]

On 21 July 2014, after failing to make any appearances with CSKA, Oliván joined another reserve team, Real Valladolid B in Segunda División B.[6] On 18 December he first appeared with the main squad, starting in a 1–0 Copa del Rey away loss against Elche CF.[7]

On 2 July 2015 Oliván signed a three-year deal with Granada CF, being assigned to the B-team also in the third division.[8] On 23 August of the following year, he was loaned to Cádiz CF in the second tier, for one year.[9]

After being an undisputed starter, Oliván was bought outright on 19 June 2017, and signed a contract until 2021.[10] On 2 September 2019, he was loaned to fellow second division side Girona FC for the season.[11]

On 9 September 2020, Oliván joined RCD Mallorca on a two-year deal.[12] He helped the club in their promotion to La Liga in his first season, and made his top tier debut on 14 August 2021, starting and netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Real Betis.

On 21 June 2022, free agent Oliván moved to RCD Espanyol also in the main category, after agreeing to a three-year contract.[13]
