Losada was born in Catoira, Pontevedra, Galicia. A RC Celta de Vigo youth graduate, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 2 December 2018, coming on as a late substitute for Dani Vega in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against AD Unión Adarve. [1]

Losada spent the 2019 pre-season with the first team, scoring a goal in a friendly match against 1. FC Union Berlin and becoming the first player of the 21st century to do so for the club.

Losada subsequently played almost exclusively for the B's in the third division and also in Primera Federación, and renewed his contract until 2025 on 11 May 2022. [4] He left Celta after 11 years on 3 July 2023, after the club decided not to promote him to the main squad. [5]
