In the summer of 2013, after one season in the second tier with SD Ponferradina, Lafuente returned to the lower leagues with Racing de Santander. After two years with Sestao River Club, the 33-year-old moved to amateur football.
After retiring, Lafuente went back to Athletic where he worked as youth coach.
