Valencia CF
A Valencia CF youth system graduate, Guaita was promoted to the first team for 2008/2009, following the retirement of historical Santiago Cañizares. Additionally, as German Timo Hildebrand became ostracized by coach Unai Emery, he became the backup.
Guaita made his official first team debut on 2 October 2008, in a UEFA Cup tie against C.S. Marítimo (2-1 home win). However, after the signing of veteran César Sánchez from Tottenham Hotspur, later in the year, and the full recovery of Renan, he remained third-choice until the end of the season.
Recreativo Huelva
In 2009/2010, with Cesar having renewed his link a further year and the signing of RCD Mallorca's Miguel Àngel Moyà, Guaita was deemed surplus to requirements and joined, on loan, second division's Recreativo de Huelva.
Guaita has a phenomenal season with Recre, winning the Zamora Trophy, which is given to the goalkeeper with the best goals allowed/games player ration. Guaita allowed 24 goals in 30 matches, giving him a league best 0.80 goals allowed/games played ratio.
