Three years later, in 1915, he signed for Barça, making his debut with the first team in a friendly match against Martinenc on 4 August, which ended in a 1–1 draw win, and his official competitive debut on 20 October, helping his side to a 2–0 victory over Sabadell in the Catalan championship. In late 1921, he was conscripted to fight the Rif War in Morocco, but he was able to return a few months later.

Death Coma died in Barcelona on 26 December 1951, at the age of 95.
