Club career
Born in Santander, Cantabria, Concha joined Racing de Santander's youth setup at the age of 9 following a brief stint with lowly CD Marina Sport. He was called up to train with the main squad in December 2013, being also selected for the Copa del Rey match against Sevilla FC. He made his first-team debut on the 6th, coming on as a substitute for Javi Barrio in the 0–1 home loss. He first appeared in the league four days later, again coming from the bench in a 1–0 home win over UD Logroñés in the Segunda División B.
On 8 January 2014, Concha scored his first goal as a senior, helping to a 1–1 home draw against UD Almería also in the domestic cup. He finished the season with 13 appearances, with Racing returning to Segunda División at the first attempt.
Concha played his first match as a professional on 24 August 2014, starting in a 1–0 defeat at Girona FC. He scored his first goal in the division on 21 September, opening an eventual 2–2 home draw with CD Leganés.
On 4 July 2015, Concha signed a five-year contract with La Liga club Real Sociedad after suffering relegation. On 31 August, he was loaned to CD Numancia for one year.
Concha made his top-flight debut on 21 August 2016, starting in a 0–3 home loss to Real Madrid. The following 11 August, he was loaned to FC Barcelona B in the second division for one year, but his loan was cut short on 31 January 2018.
On 9 March 2019, after more than one year of inactivity, Concha moved abroad for the first time in his career after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Gamba Osaka. On 27 February 2020, after only two official games, he returned to Spain and joined to CD Badajoz on a short-term contract.
On 6 July 2022, Concha signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby Fotboll. The following January, having made 14 competitive appearances, he left by mutual consent. It was reported that he retired from football, but on 11 July 2023, after six months without a club, Concha agreed to a one-year contract with Primera Federación side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
