Barcelona Born in
Brussels to a
Basque father and a
Galician mother, Pardo began his football career with
R.S.C. Anderlecht, finishing his formation with
FC Barcelona but never making it past its
B-side. He split the
2005–06 season – always on loan – between
FC Cartagena and
CE Sabadell FC with both teams in the
third division, suffering relegation with the latter.
Rapid București / Greece In the summer of 2007, released by Barcelona, Pardo signed with Greece's
Iraklis, moving the following year to
FC Rapid București in Romania but appearing rarely in
his first season. In
2009–10, another loan ensued as Pardo moved to
Olympiacos F.C. also in Greece, playing just three
Super League games in his first year. The move was extended by Rapid for
the following season, and he appeared more regularly (Olympiacos were seeking a replacement for the legendary
Antonios Nikopolidis (40), who was set to retire in June 2011, and said the Spaniard would be a very good choice for succeeding him), being the most used player in his position.
Cyprus In the last day of the 2011 summer
transfer window, Pardo signed a two-year contract with Cyprus
champions APOEL FC. He made his official debut on 19 October against
FC Porto,
replacing injured
Dionisis Chiotis early into the second half of a 1–1 away draw in
that season's
UEFA Champions League, and added a further four appearances as the club
reached the quarter-finals for the first time ever. In 2014–15, Pardo appeared in every
group stage match in APOEL's third
Champions League campaign. On 26 May 2016 both parties agreed on a two-year contract extension, with an option for a third year. On 2 September 2017, aged 34,
free agent Pardo joined
Alki Oroklini. On 23 August 2019, he moved to
Cypriot Second Division team
Ermis Aradippou FC. Pardo joined
Cypriot Third Division team
Olympias Lympion for the 2020–21 season. ==International career==
