Club career

Real Sociedad

Born in Arrasate, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, [3] Gorosabel represented UD Aretxabaleta and Real Sociedad as a youth, appearing in the UEFA Youth League in 2013. [4] On 11 July 2014, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to SD Beasain in Tercera División, [5] making his senior debut during the season.

Upon returning, Gorosabel was assigned to farm team Berio FT, also in the fourth tier. On 9 July 2016, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Real Unión for one year. [6]

On 16 June 2017, Gorosabel renewed his Real Sociedad contract until 2019 and was promoted to the reserves, also competing in the third level. [7] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 September, starting in a 3–0 away loss against Levante UD. [8]

On 5 December 2017, Gorosabel renewed his contract until 2021, [9] and spent the remainder of the campaign as a second-choice to Álvaro Odriozola, overtaking longtime incumbent Carlos Martínez. In July 2018, as both Odriozola and Martínez left, he was definitely promoted to the main squad. [10]

In March 2022, he reached the milestone of 100 appearances for Real Sociedad. [11]

Alavés

On 11 August 2023, Gorosabel signed a one-year deal with Deportivo Alavés, newly-promoted to the top tier. [12] A regular starter for the club, he scored his first professional goal on 10 March 2024, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Rayo Vallecano.
