Born in Fabero, Castile and León, Gurdiel finished his formation at SD Ponferradina's youth setup, and started playing as a senior with the reserve team in the 2011–12 season, in Tercera División. He made his first-team debut on 18 October of the following year, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 away draw against SD Huesca for the Copa del Rey.[1]

On 13 January 2013, Gurdiel played his first game in Segunda División, featuring the last 24 minutes in a 0–1 home loss to CD Lugo.[2] On 16 August, he was loaned to Segunda División B club Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[3]

Gurdiel signed a new two-year deal with Ponfe on 17 July 2014.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 20 December, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against RCD Mallorca;[5] he was also converted to a right back during the campaign.[6]

On 17 November 2015, Gurdiel agreed to a new three-year contract until 2018.[7] He featured in 23 matches during the season, suffering relegation.

On 17 July 2017, Gurdiel terminated his contract with Ponferradina[8] and signed for Lorca FC in the second division the following day.[9] The following 31 January, after being sparingly used, he joined Racing de Santander after agreeing to a six-month contract.[10]
