On 30 May 2013, Mateu was released by Zaragoza after a bout of indiscipline. He moved to Villarreal CF's C team in October, and was promoted to the reserves the following year.
On 28 July 2015, Mateu signed for CD Numancia of the second tier. He scored his first professional goal on 3 April 2016, the decider in a 3–2 home victory over SD Huesca.
Mateu was a regular starter during his spell at the Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos, leaving after relegation in 2020. On 23 August that year, he agreed to a two-year deal with CD Castellón, recently returned to the second division.
On 29 June 2021, after another relegation, Mateu signed a two-year contract with SD Huesca still in division two. He terminated his link with the club on 25 July 2023, and agreed to a two-year deal at CD Eldense in the same league later that day.
During the 2023–24 campaign, Mateu was converted to a left-back and established himself as a starter in that position. On 9 June 2025, having suffered relegation, he signed a two-year contract with CD Tenerife which also had dropped down a level.
