On 27 August 2011, he rescinded with Valencia and signed with UD Melilla in the same category;[2] he scored his first goal as a senior on 6 May 2012, against AD Ceuta.
On 12 January 2013, Fausto signed a contract with Real Betis, being assigned to the reserves.[3] On 8 March he made his official debut with the Andalusians' first team, replacing Dorlan Pabón in the dying minutes in a 2–1 La Liga home win against CA Osasuna.[4]
On 15 August 2014, Fausto signed a one-year deal with Segunda División's AD Alcorcón.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 26 October, but in a 1–3 home loss against Real Zaragoza.[6]
