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.[1] 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.[2] He made his first-team debut on the 6th, coming on as a substitute for Javi Barrio in the 0–1 home loss.[3]
Concha made his league debut four days later, again coming from the bench in a 1–0 home win over UD Logroñés in the Segunda División B.[4] On 8 January 2014 he scored his first goal as a senior, helping to a 1–1 home draw against UD Almería also in the domestic cup.[5] He finished the season with 13 appearances, with Racing returning to Segunda División at the first attempt.
