López scored his first senior goal on 19 April 2015, netting the game's only in an away success over Vélez CF. During the 2015–16 campaign, he contributed with 37 matches (all as a starter) and one goal as his side narrowly missed out promotion in the play-offs; he also acted as team captain during the season.
