After being first-choice as the Galician club 2001–02 [Segunda División B|returned to where it came from], he was again backup in the 2002–03 campaign, with Compos again dropping down a league in spite of having finished ninth; following a 2–1 loss against relegation-threatened Córdoba CF on 15 June 2003, he was accused of having been paid to help the visitors win, but nothing was ever proved.
Subsequently, Oliver resumed his career in the Segunda División B but also Tercera División, also having a spell in Switzerland with SC [Young Fellows Juventus].
