Born in Portugalete, Biscay, Basque Country, Veiga played for Athletic Bilbao and Danok Bat CF before joining Real Sociedad's youth setup in June 2014.[1] He made his senior debut with the latter's C-team on 26 August 2017, playing the last 25 minutes in a 0–2 Tercera División away loss against SCD Durango.[2]
Veiga scored his first senior goal on 23 September 2017, in a 2–1 win at SD Deusto, and scored a brace in a 4–0 away success over Sodupe UC the following 14 April.[3] After scoring seven goals for the C's, he first appeared with the reserves on 13 May 2018 by starting in a 3–1 away defeat of Peña Sport FC in the Segunda División B.
On 18 July 2019, after featuring regularly for the B-team, Veiga renewed his contract until 2021.[4] He contributed with one goal in 18 appearances overall during the 2020–21 campaign, as his club returned to the Segunda División after 59 years.
On 3 June 2021, Veiga signed a three-year contract with UD Las Palmas in the second division.[5] He made his professional debut on 3 October, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fabio González in a 4–1 home routing of FC Cartagena.[6]
