In 2019, Kevin Carlos returned to the youth categories after the partnership with Almudévar ended, and spent the season playing for the Juvenil A team. For the 2020–21 campaign, he was assigned to the reserves, now also in the fourth level, and renewed his contract until 2023 on 28 July 2020.[3]

Kevin Carlos made his first team debut on 15 December 2020, coming on as an extra-time substitute for goalscorer Rafa Mir in a 3–2 away win over CD Marchamalo, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4] He scored his first goal for the main squad on 30 November of the following year, netting the second of a 2–0 success at CD Cayón, also for the national cup.[5]

Kevin Carlos' professional debut occurred on 14 December 2021, as he started in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC, also for the Copa del Rey.[6] He scored his first professional goal the following 4 September, netting the opener in a 3–0 Segunda División home win over UD Ibiza.

On 12 January 2023, Kevin Carlos joined Betis Deportivo on loan until the end of the season with an option to purchase.[7] On 15 July, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Swiss side Yverdon-Sport FC.[8]
