Neira played his first match as a professional on 22 May 2013, starting in a 3–0 away win against Anagennisi Giannitsa F.C., [4] in which was his maiden appearance in the competition. On 21 June he returned to his home country, signing for third-tier Barakaldo CF; [5] he subsequently resumed his career in the same division, representing FC Cartagena [6] and Sestao River. [7]
