Club career

Born in Getxo, he began his career at his hometown club Arenas de Getxo in 1916, and he remained loyal to the club for the next 14 years. He played a pivotal role in helping the Copa del Rey final on two occasions, in 1917 and 1919, which ended in a loss to Real Madrid and in a 5–2 win over FC Barcelona. [3]

International career

He made his debut for the Spanish national team on 9 October 1921 against the 1920 Summer Olympics gold medalists Belgium, keeping a clean-sheet in a 2-0 win. In his next cap on 16 December 1923 he scored again, netting a hat-trick in the Iberian derby to help his side to a 3-0 win. In total, he earned 4 caps in which he only conceded one goal. [2]

Like many other Arenas de Getxo players of that time, he played a few games for the Biscay national team, participating in both the 1922–23 and the 1923–24 Prince of Asturias Cups, an official inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. [4] In the quarter-finals of the 1922–23 edition against Asturias, Careaga slotted a penalty in the 132nd minute of extra-time to level the scores at 3–3, but they were ultimately eliminated 3–4 courtesy of a brace from Rogelio Barril.
