On 27 January 2016, having totalled just six appearances, Raíllo was loaned to Segunda División club SD Ponferradina until June.[9] He scored his first professional goal on 29 May, equalising the 1–1 away draw with CD Tenerife.[10]

Raíllo signed a three-year contract with RCD Mallorca on 29 June 2016.[11] Under Vicente Moreno, he was part of the squad that won two consecutive promotions to the reach the top flight in 2019.[12]

In the 2023–24 campaign, Raíllo helped Mallorca to reach the final of the Copa del Rey for the first time in 21 years.[13] A longtime captain,[14] on 18 February 2024 he became the club's ninth player with the most appearances (242), but also the one with the most ejections (eight, tied with Sergio Ballesteros).[15]
