On 16 January 2014, Vigaray played his first official match with the first team, starting in a 0–2 home loss against FC Barcelona in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.[3] Exactly one month later, due to many injuries to the defensive sector,[4] he first appeared in La Liga, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–3 defeat to Real Madrid also at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.[5]

Vigaray scored his first professional goal on 17 December 2014, the first in a 2–1 away win against SD Eibar in the Spanish Cup (5–1 on aggregate).[6] In June 2015, he signed a new two-year deal with Geta and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[7]

On 24 October 2015, Vigaray committed two penalty kicks that resulted in as many yellow cards, with the subsequent 60th-minute dismissal and goals by Éver Banega and Kevin Gameiro in an eventual 5–0 loss at Sevilla FC.[8] He scored his only league goal the following 1 May, helping his team to a 2–0 away victory over Deportivo de La Coruña.[9]

Alavés

[edit]

Vigaray signed a three-year contract with Deportivo Alavés on 12 August 2016, remaining in the top tier.[10] He struggled with injuries and competition from youth graduate Martín Aguirregabiria during his spell at the club, being mainly a backup option.[11]

Zaragoza

[edit]

On 11 July 2019, free agent Vigaray joined Segunda División side Real Zaragoza on a four-year deal.[12] He dealt with several physical problems during his tenure at the La Romareda,[13] being released on 26 June 2023.[14]
