On 9 September 2014, Inez signed as a free agent with Bulgarian side Botev Plovdiv on a two-year deal.[3]

Inez made a debut in A Grupa on 20 September. He came on as a 34-minute substitute to replace the injured Plamen Nikolov during the 1-1 draw with Marek Dupnitza.[4] Three days later, on 23 September, he was in the starting lineup for the 0-4 away win against Lokomotiv Mezdra in the first round of the Bulgarian Cup.[5] At the end of the same week, on 27 September, he was included in the starting lineup again for the 2-0 win in the derby game versus Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[6] This was his debut in front of the extraordinary Botev Plovdiv crowd at their home stadium.

Inez did not play in any official games in 2015 due to an injury. On 24 April his contract with Botev Plovdiv was terminated.[7]
