In 2008, Oreta joined the Smart-Pampanga Buddies of the semi-professional Liga Pilipinas and stayed there until 2009 when the team folded.
In 2010, Oreta finally got his first taste of action in the PBA after the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters signed him from free agency.
In 2015, Oreta joined the tryouts held by a new team, the Pilipinas Aguilas along with many other hopeful veterans unable to make it to the PBA.[2] A couple of weeks later, it was confirmed that Oreta will be a part of the final lineup of the Aguilas.
