Mateo scored his first professional goal on 8 March 1997, netting the first in a 1–1 home draw against CD Ourense.^[3] He was an ever-present figure in the 1999–2000 season, appearing in 40 matches and scoring a career-best three goals as his team returned to La Liga after a six-year absence.

On 10 September 2000, Mateo made his debut in the Spanish top flight, starting in a 0–2 home loss to RC Celta de Vigo.^[4] He scored his first goal in the competition on 29 October, netting the first in a 1–2 defeat with Valencia CF also at the El Sadar Stadium.^[5]

On 3 July 2004, after eight years in the Rojillos' first team, Mateo moved to second level club Real Valladolid.^[6] He remained in the same division in the following years, representing Recreativo de Huelva^[7] and Deportivo Alavés^[8] and retiring with the latter in 2009 at the age of 34.

In July 2014, Mateo returned to Osasuna and its reserves, now competing in Tercera División.^[12] On 28 February of the following year he was named manager of the first team, replacing the fired Jan Urban;^[13] he was himself relieved of his duties on 4 May, after six losses in only ten games.^[14]
