From the 2002/03 season he returned to the Basques after four years on loan, where he mostly came from the bank at the beginning and Elmer Bennett had to leave the preference as starting point guard. His breakthrough came in the 2003/04 season, as a regular he was able to win the Spanish Cup with his club by a 81:77 in the final against Joventut de Badalona .
