On November 26, 2017, he made his varsity debut with the reserves, coming on as the first-half replacement in a 1-0 Tercera División road wins over Villacarrillo CF.

Jaime earned his first-team start on September 11, 2018, fifteen days before turning 18 years old, after taking the place of fellow rookie Abdel Abqar in a 1-2 Copa del Rey loss at home against UD Almera. On November 25, he netted his first senior goal, hitting the B's' first through a penalty shot in a 2-1 victory over Atlético Sanluqueo CF at home.

The following 4 April, he got his first goal as a senior, adding to his team's second goal in a 2-0 victory over F.C. Paços de Ferreira at home. Later that month, he scored twice in a 3-0 victory at Gil Vicente F.C.

His ascent has been meteoric, and major Portuguese teams like Porto and Sporting CP have shown interest in the player.

Will Jamie end up at one of the biggest clubs in Portugal?
