Born in Horta de Sant Joan, Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Badía all but spent his career in his country in the lower leagues.[2] The exception to this was in the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons, when he appeared for CD Guadalajara in the Segunda División.[3][4][5][6]

In the 2018–19 campaign, Badía contributed 21 matches and two goals[9][10] as Piast won the first national championship in their 74-year history.[11] During his spell at the Stadion Miejski, he made more than 200 competitive appearances.[2]
