Born in Manresa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Lardín was a skilled and pacy attacking player with netting ability. He started playing football with local CE Manresa, making his professional debuts with RCD Espanyol also in his native region in 1992–93; the team would be relegated from La Liga, and he went on to become an essential offensive figure in the following years.
After unassuming loan stints with former club Espanyol[5] and Xerez CD in Segunda División, Lardín retired from football at age 29 claiming to be "fed up" with the sport.[2] He made a tentative comeback two years later, with modest CD Leganés; internationally, he also appeared for Spain at the 1996 Summer Olympics, playing in all the matches as the national side reached the quarter-finals in Atlanta.[6]
On 28 November 2016, Lardín left his post as Espanyol's youth football coordinator and was appointed its director of football.[7]
