In the 2010 summer Cruz moved to neighbouring Unión Estepona CF. He continued to appear in the third level in the following years, representing UD Melilla, Écija Balompié[1] and Albacete Balompié.[2] With the latter he achieved promotion to Segunda División, scoring a career-best 26 goals in 39 matches.
