Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Imaz graduated through local UE Lleida's youth system. He made his senior debut on 30 August 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against UE Sant Andreu for the Segunda División B championship.[1]

In the 2011 summer, after Lleida's dissolution, Imaz joined newly formed Lleida Esportiu also in the third level.[2] He was an undisputed starter in the following seasons, as the club missed out on promotion three times in the play-offs.

On 12 July 2014 Imaz signed a two-year deal with UE Llagostera, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[3] He played his first match as a professional on 23 August, replacing Vallho in the 78th minute of a 0–2 away loss against UD Las Palmas.[4]

Imaz scored his first professional goal on 19 October 2014, but in a 1–4 home loss to RCD Mallorca.[5] On 11 July 2016, after suffering relegation, he signed a one-year deal with UCAM Murcia CF also in the second tier.[6]
