In January 2009 Oliva moved abroad and joined Italian side Calcio Catania, being assigned to the Primavera squad. In July, he returned to his country, signing with CD Numancia and being assigned to the reserves in the fourth level. On 4 December of the following year Oliva made his professional debut, playing the last 26 minutes of a 1–2 home loss against Real Betis, for the Segunda División championship.[1]

On 21 June 2011 Oliva signed with another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B, in Segunda División B.[2] Two seasons later he joined SD Huesca, freshly relegated to the third level.[3]

On 17 January 2014, it was confirmed that Oliva signed a six-month deal with Austrian Bundesliga side SV Josko Ried.[4] He scored the winning goal in his first game for Ried in a 2–1 home victory over SC Wiener Neustadt on 8 February 2014.[5]

On 27 August 2014 Oliva returned to his country, signing a one-year deal with Real Murcia in the third level.[6] On 23 June of the following year he moved to fellow league team SD Compostela.[7]
