He finished the following campaign on loan to Segunda División's Málaga CF, contributing five matches to the Andalusia side's top-flight return.
In 2008–09 Erice was loaned again, now to SD Huesca, 2007–08 [Segunda División B|newly promoted to the second division]. He was released in January 2009, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract with Segunda División B club Cádiz CF although a loan was initially projected, making ten appearances for another promotion.
Erice was an undisputed starter throughout the 2009–10 season – 36 games, 2,696 minutes – but Cádiz were immediately relegated after finishing 19th.
