Concha made his league debut four days later, again coming from the bench in a 1–0 home win over UD Logroñés for the Segunda División B championship.[4] On 8 January 2014 he scored his first goal as a senior, helping to a 1–1 home draw against UD Almería also in the domestic cup.[5] He finished the season with 13 appearances, with the Verdiblancos returning to Segunda División at the first attempt.

On 24 August 2014, Concha played his first match as a professional, starting in a 0–1 loss at Girona FC.[6] He scored his first goal in the division on 21 September, netting the first in a 2–2 home draw against CD Leganés.[7]

On 4 July 2015, Concha signed a five-year deal with La Liga club Real Sociedad after suffering relegation with Racing.[8] On 31 August, he was loaned to CD Numancia for one year.[9]
