Football career
Born in Valencia, Valencian Community, Costa played youth football with local giants Valencia CF, but never made it past the B-team, with which he competed in both Segunda División B and Tercera División. He made his professional debuts with Cádiz CF in the 2009–10 season, on loan, appearing in less than half of the games and also suffering Segunda División relegation.
In the 2010 summer, Costa joined neighbours Villarreal CF, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the second level. He played his first match in La Liga with the main squad on 4 March 2012, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Real Zaragoza; at the end of the campaign both the first and the second squads dropped down a tier, even though the latter finished in a comfortable 12th position, with 29 games and one goal from the player.
In late August 2013, with the Yellow Submarine back in the top flight, Costa renewed his contract with the club until June 2017. He scored his first goal in the competition on 10 May 2014, netting his team's last in a 4–0 home win over Rayo Vallecano.
