He made his debut with the first team in 1999–2000 after serving two loans at modest Basque neighbours, adding another with Elche CF three years later.
After replacing Imanol Etxeberria[1] he competed with Dani Aranzubia for first-choice status in several La Liga seasons, appearing in 36 games in 2000–01 and adding 30 the following campaign.
[3] At his new club he backed up Carlos Kameni, and when the Cameroonian left for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations he became the starter, but retired injured in just his second appearance.
On 13 January 2009, due to Sporting de Gijón starter Iván Cuéllar's serious ankle injury, coincidentally in a match against the former, he was loaned to the Asturias side until the end of the campaign.
In late July, the 33-year-old moved to CD Numancia (recently relegated to the Segunda División),[6] being used mostly as a backup during his two-year spell[7] and retiring subsequently.
