On 31 May 2013, after contributing with ten games to his team's top flight permanence, he was definitely promoted to the main squad, with a contract running until June 2015.
On 6 July 2017, after five full seasons with Rayo, Nacho signed a two-year contract with Real Valladolid in Segunda División.
