On 4 July 2019, after suffering relegation, Pons signed a three-year contract with Deportivo Alavés still in the top tier.

On 15 August 2017, Pons agreed to an extension until 2020. He made his debut in the top flight four days later, starting in a 2–2 home draw to Atlético Madrid.

On 28 December 2016, Pons made his debut for the Catalonia national team, coming on as a half-time substitute for Sergi Roberto in a 3–3 draw against Tunisia (2–4 penalty loss).

On 21 November 2014, Pons renewed his contract with the club, signing until 2017. He contributed with two goals in 38 matches during the 2016–17 campaign, in a first-ever promotion to La Liga.

Pons scored his first professional goal on 6 October 2013, netting the first in a 1–1 home draw against CE Sabadell FC. On 29 January 2014, he was loaned to Segunda División B side UE Olot until June; he subsequently returned to the Albirrojos in the summer, and was made first-choice by manager Pablo Machín.

On 13 September 2012, Pons made his first-team debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Joseba Garmendia in a 0–2 away loss against Sporting de Gijón for the season's Copa del Rey. Three days later he first appeared in Segunda División, again replacing Garmendia in a 5–0 home routing of UD Las Palmas.

Born in Sant Martí Vell, Girona, Catalonia, Pons joined Girona FC's youth setup in 2002, aged nine. He started his senior career with the reserves in the regional leagues, in 2012.
