On 11 September 2016, Díaz scored a hat-trick in a 4–2 home win against Arandina CF.[2] The following 13 June, after the first team's relegation from La Liga, he was definitely promoted to the main squad after extending his contract until 2018.[3]

Díaz made his professional debut on 20 September 2017, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Cádiz CF in the season's Copa del Rey.[4] The following 5 January he extended his contract until 2020, but was demoted to the B-side in the third level.[5]

On 21 August 2018, Díaz was loaned to CD Mirandés of the third division for a year.[6] The deal was terminated on 31 January 2019, and Díaz was instead loaned to Real Murcia.[7]
