Later he was also adopted in the squad for the first team, but moved to Celta Vigo in 2007. Here he was now being used only in the B- team played, however, towards the end of the season in the first squad and was in the next few years an integral part of the team. In the season 2010/11 he took with Celta Vigo in the play-offs for promotion to the Primera División in part, but failed in a penalty shootout at the Granada CF.
