Immediately relegated back to the fourth tier, the club returned to the third division in 2002, and again suffered immediate relegation. In May 2012, they again promoted to division three, and achieved their best-ever finish in the category during

In June 2014, after

The club only returned to a national division in 2021, reaching the newly-formed
Tercera División RFEF.
