On 28 November 2012 he made his debut with the first team, coming on as a substitute for fellow youth graduate Álvaro Peña in the 85th minute of a 0–2 away win against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona F.C. in that season's UEFA Europa League.[1]

Vidal spent three seasons with the reserves in the Segunda División B before being released in May 2014.[2] On 7 July he moved to neighbours Barakaldo CF, also in the third level.[3] He scored four goals in his only season with Barakaldo, before joining FC Cartagena in July 2015.
