Born in Artà, Balearic Islands, Darder played for two local clubs before joining RCD Espanyol in summer 2007, aged 13. His first season as a senior was 2011–12, when he competed with the reserves in the Tercera División. Darder signed for Málaga CF in July 2012, being assigned to the B side also in the fourth tier.

On 14 August 2013, it was announced that Darder was officially promoted to the main squad, along with Fabrice Olinga and Samu García. He made his La Liga debut three days later, starting the 1–0 away loss against Valencia CF. Darder signed a professional contract with Málaga on 4 November 2013, running until 2017. He scored his first goal for the Andalusians on 31 March of the following year, closing a 2–1 win over Real Betis at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
