A return to Spain saw him don the colors of Real Oviedo and Real Zaragoza before embarking on a transformative journey with FC Goa in the Indian Super League.
During his six-year tenure with FC Goa, Bedia became an idol for local fans and matured as a player. His footballing prowess saw a move to Gokulam Kerala FC last summer, marking another chapter in his diverse career.
Accumulating 34 matches in the First Division, 136 in the Second Division, and an impressive 105 appearances in the Indian Super League, Bedia brings a wealth of experience to Real Sociedad Gimnástica.
