Valencia Born in
Valencia,
Valencian Community, Costa played youth football with local giants
Valencia CF, but almost exclusively in the
B side, with whom he competed in both
Segunda División B and
Tercera División. He made his only first-team appearance on 4 December 2008 in a
UEFA Cup home game against
Club Brugge KV, and featured the first 55 minutes of the
1–1 group stage draw before being
substituted by
Vicente Rodríguez. Costa was loaned to
Cádiz CF of
Segunda División for the
2009–10 season, appearing in less than half of the matches and also suffering relegation.
Villarreal Costa joined neighbours
Villarreal CF in the summer of 2010, being initially assigned to
the reserves also in the second division. He played his first match in
La Liga with the main squad on 4 March 2012, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 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 until June 2017. He scored his first goal in
the competition on 10 May 2014, his team's last in a 4–0 home win over
Rayo Vallecano. In January 2017, his link was again extended to 2021. On 13 August 2019, Costa returned to Valencia on a
season-long loan. He made his debut four days later, starting in a 1–1 draw against
Real Sociedad at the
Mestalla Stadium; the decade-long difference between two appearances set a club record previously held by
Juan Sánchez in the 1990s.
Mallorca On 7 July 2021, Costa joined newly-promoted
RCD Mallorca on a two-year deal. He totalled 95 appearances during his three-year spell, reaching
the final of the
Copa del Rey in the
2023–24 season.
Later career On 7 August 2024, aged 36, the
free agent Costa signed a one-year contract with second-tier club
Albacete Balompié. He missed most of his
only season due to a
fibula fracture. ==Career statistics==
