On 22 December 2016, C.D. Olimpia confirmed the signing of Moya.[4] He made his debut – as a starter – for the club the following 8 January in the 5–2 home win against Honduras Progreso in the Clausura tournament.[5] He scored his first goal for Los Albos on 7 October 2017, the winner in a 2–1 away win against Platense F.C.[6]

On 14 January 2022, Moya returned to Olimpia.[13] He scored his first goal in his second spell at the club, in a 3–0 home win against Honduras Progreso in the league.[14]
