On 3 July 2018, Joaquín signed a new contract until 2021 and was definitely promoted to the B-side.[3] He scored his first senior goal on 14 October, netting his team's second in a 3–0 home defeat of Celta de Vigo B.

Joaquín made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 19 January 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Thomas Lemar in a 3–0 away defeat of SD Huesca.[4] On 4 July, he signed a four-year deal precisely with the latter club, now in Segunda División.[5]

On 22 January 2020, after being rarely used, Joaquín was loaned to fellow second division side CD Mirandés for the remainder of the season.[6] At the club he scored his first professional goal, netting the equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against Sporting de Gijón on 9 February.[7]
