Spain
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Tarrés was a youth product of RCD Espanyol and also appeared for its reserves in the third level, playing mostly with clubs in his native region.
In his country, he never played in higher than Segunda División B, starting off with CF Igualada in Tercera División. In the former category he represented CE Sabadell FC, Hércules CF, Terrassa FC and Lorca Deportiva CF.
Hong Kong
Tarrés signed for Kitchee SC 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 national championship after 47 years, and he was also crowned the league's top scorer alongside Makhosonke Bhengu of Fourway Athletics. He also scored four goals in the 2012 AFC Cup group stage to help the team win the group, and progress to the last-16 stage of the tournament.
On 1 May 2013, Tarrés scored a hat-trick against Warriors F.C. 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. The following day, Kitchee general manager Ken Ng confirmed that he had signed a new two-year contract with the club.
