On 21 June 2011 Oliva signed with another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B, in Segunda División B.[2] Two seasons later he joined SD Huesca, freshly relegated to the third level.[3]
On 17 January 2014, it was confirmed that Oliva signed a six-month deal with Austrian Bundesliga side SV Josko Ried.[4] He scored the winning goal in his first game for Ried in a 2–1 home victory over SC Wiener Neustadt on 8 February 2014.[5]
