Laguardia was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. After emerging through hometown Real Zaragoza's youth system he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 29 August 2009 in a 1–0 home win against CD Tenerife,[2] but spent the vast majority of his first three seasons as a senior, however, registered with the B side in the Tercera División.

In the summer of 2011, Laguardia was loaned to UD Las Palmas of Segunda División, in a season-long move.[3] More of the same befell in the following campaign, with AD Alcorcón.[4]

Laguardia continued competing in division two the following years, with Zaragoza[5] and Deportivo Alavés.[6] He achieved promotion to the top flight with the latter in 2016, appearing in 39 matches and scoring once.[7]

Laguardia scored his first goal in the Spanish top tier on 1 October 2016, but in a 2–1 away loss to Sevilla FC.[8] During that season he appeared in 31 competitive games for a side that finish ninth and also reached the final of the Copa del Rey for the first time ever, but also suffered a severe knee injury that sidelined him for eight months.[9][10]

Laguardia left Alavés after his contract expired in July 2022, but returned on 4 October after agreeing to a two-year deal.[11] On 16 July 2023, having been a backup option as the club returned to the top tier, he announced his retirement at the age of 33.[12]
