From 2003 to 2005, after a season-long loan with CD Numancia in the second division, he represented neighbours CA Osasuna also in La Liga.

In 2005 Expósito returned to Athletic as a full member of the main squad but, after making just three appearances in 2007–08, he signed for Hércules CF in the second level. After one sole season he joined another club in the category, freshly promoted FC Cartagena.
