Correa left the Madrid outskirts club on 11 July 2013 and signed a three-year deal with another reserve team, RCD Espanyol B.[3] On 12 June 2015, he renewed his contract until 2018 and was definitely promoted to the main squad.[4]

On 20 July 2016, Correa was loaned to Segunda División club Elche CF for one year.[5] On 7 August of the following year, after suffering relegation, he signed a permanent two-year contract with fellow league team Cádiz CF.[6]
