In July 2012, Capa was promoted to the first team after appearing once with the main squad in 2011–12. In the following campaign, he played 24 matches and scored five goals as the Armeros returned to Segunda División after a four-year absence.
Capa played in his professional match on 18 August 2013, starting in a 2–1 away win against Real Jaén. He scored his first professional goal on 28 September, but in a 2–3 loss at Sporting de Gijón; he appeared in a further 30 games while netting once during the season, being promoted to La Liga for the first time ever.
Capa made his debut in the competition on 24 August, starting in a 1–0 home win against Real Sociedad. He scored his first goal in the top flight on 8 December, netting his side's last in a 5–2 home rout of UD Almería.
During the 2015 pre-season, Capa was converted into a right back by new manager José Luis Mendilibar. On 19 November of that year, with the club still in the top level and him as an undisputed starter, he renewed his contract until 2018.
