Club career

Vega started his career with Sevilla FC, playing 69 matches for its B team. In 2005–06 he played with modest Lorca Deportiva CF in the second division, with the side eventually finishing fifth, being relegated the campaign after his departure.

In July 2006, Vega joined Real Betis on a free transfer, and eventually became first-choice at the Andalusian side in his first season, ousting veteran Enrique Romero, and appeared in 31 La Liga matches apiece in the following two years, although Betis would be relegated in the second.

On 31 August 2011, after only participating in six league games (out of 42) as the Verdiblancos returned to the top division after a two-year absence, he was released by the club, even though he had a contract running until June 2014.
