He spent most of his professional career with Kitchee in Hong Kong after signing in 2010, eventually going on to represent that national team in 2017. He amassed Segunda División B totals of 203 games and 44 goals over eight seasons during his spell in his native Spain.
Spain
Tarrés was born in Barcelona, Catalonia to Isidoro Tarrés, a footballer who played for FC Barcelona amongst other clubs.[3][4][5] The son was a youth product of Espanyol and also appeared for its reserves in the third level,[6] mostly representing teams in his native region.
In his country, Tarrés never competed in higher than Segunda División B, starting off with Igualada in Tercera División. In the former tier he played with Sabadell, Hércules, Terrassa and Lorca Deportiva.[7]
Kitchee
Tarrés signed for Kitchee on 26 July 2010, being the second Spaniard to join the Hong Kong side after Fernando Recio. In his first season the club won the First Division League after 47 years, and he was also crowned top scorer alongside Makhosonke Bhengu of Fourway Athletics.[8] He also scored four goals in the 2012 AFC Cup group stage, helping the team to win their group and progress to the last-16 stage of the tournament.[9]
On 1 May 2013, Tarrés scored a hat-trick against Warriors to become top scorer in the 2013 AFC Cup group stage with ten goals, finding the net in at all group-stage games and equalling Julius Akosah's record for a Hong Kong club in the same competition.[10] The following day, Kitchee general manager Ken Ng confirmed that he had signed a new two-year contract with the club.
From 2016 to 2018, Tarrés served season-long loans at fellow Premier League sides Rangers and Lee Man.[11] On 9 January 2018, he was recalled by Kitchee ahead of their 2018 AFC Champions League campaign.[12]
On 25 May 2019, it was announced that the 38-year-old Tarrés would be leaving the Mong Kok Stadium after nine years.[13]
Lee Man
Tarrés returned to Lee Man on 19 July 2019, rejoining the club after his previous loan stint.[14] On 11 October 2020, having become a UEFA Pro Licence holder,[15] he announced his retirement and was named their assistant coach.[16]
Tarrés received his Hong Kong passport in October 2017 at the age of 36, alongside his compatriots Dani Cancela and Fernando Recio.[17] He made his debut for the national team on 5 October, scoring one goal in a 4–0 friendly win over Laos.[18]
