In August 2009, Núñez bought out the remainder of his Murcia contract and was released, shortly after joining Cyprus' Apollon Limassol. After three seasons he returned to his country and its Segunda División, signing a one-and-a-half-year deal with SD Huesca. After the team's relegation in 2013, he remained in the division by agreeing to a four-month contract at Deportivo de La Coruña on 12 September; he was part of the squad that returned to the top flight after one year, but started in only seven matches and did not score once.
