On 28 August 2012, Bigas renewed his contract until 2015, being definitely promoted to the main squad and given the number 17 jersey.[5] On 22 October he scored his first professional goal, opening the 3–2 loss at Sevilla FC.[6] He was occasionally used as a defensive midfielder during the season, as his side suffered relegation.[7][8]
