Concha began his career at the minor Malmö side Kulladals FF, before eventually signing for his home town giants, Malmö FF. In 2004, he moved to Stockholm and Djurgårdens IF after having been given playing time sparsely at Malmö FF. He quickly established himself as a starter for Djurgården and was part of their championship winning team of 2005, as well as Swedish cup golds 2004 and 2005. He played 76 games and scored two goals.
