In August 2012 Néstor moved to Segunda División B side CD Olímpic de Xàtiva.[2] On 25 January of the following year, after being an ever-present figure for the side, he rescinded his contract and signed a two-year deal with Czech First League side FK Dukla Prague.[3][4]

Néstor made his professional debut on 22 February 2013, starting in a 1–1 home draw for Dukla against FK Teplice.[5] He scored his first league goals on 13 April, netting a brace in a 5–1 home routing of FK Jablonec.[6]

Néstor was shortlisted for the league's Player of the Month award for May 2013, after having scored in wins against FC Zbrojovka Brno (3–2) and FK Mladá Boleslav (2–1) during the month.[7] He was also elected as the best foreigner of the league in June.[8]

Néstor sustained an injury during the winter break of the 2013–14 season, being sidelined until August 2014 when he came on as a substitute in a 1–2 defeat at FC Viktoria Plzeň.[9] Despite having injury troubles with both knees,[10] he remained at Dukla until the winter break of the 2016–17 season.

After scoring five goals for Dukla in the autumn part of the 2016–17 season, Néstor signed with Sparta Prague in December 2016, joining on a 2+1⁄2-year contract.[11]

Badalona / Numancia[]
