On 27 November 2013, Capilla was called up to train with the main squad.[3] He was promoted to the B-team on 23 June 2014,[4] and renewed his contract on 1 October 2014 until 2020.[5]

Capilla made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 May 2015, replacing Carlos Vela in the dying minutes of a 3–0 home win against Levante UD.[6] On 17 July of the following year, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Numancia for one year.[7]

On 15 August 2018, Capilla joined Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa on a season-long loan deal.[8] On 12 July of the following year, upon returning from loan, he moved abroad after being transferred to Greek club Asteras Tripolis FC.[9]
