On 19 December 2013 Acosta was loaned to Tercera División side RCD Carabanchel, until the end of the season.[1] On 8 August 2014, he joined CD Olímpic de Xàtiva in Segunda División B.[2]

In July 2015 Acosta signed for another reserve team, CF Pobla de Mafumet also in the third division.[3] The following year he moved to Getafe CF B, in the fourth level.[4]

Acosta made his professional debut on 12 November 2016, starting and being booked in a 0–1 away loss against Gimnàstic de Tarragona for the Segunda División championship.[5]
