Club career

Lete started playing football in school at the Colegio La Salle Legazpi as a striker. Once she started playing for Urola KE  [ es ], her local team in Zumarraga, she discovered her skill at goalkeeping, and began her career there. [3] [4] [5] In 2018 she was signed by Real Sociedad and was the starting goalkeeper for their reserve team. In 2019 she became the substitute goalkeeper for the main team [6] and was part of the squad that won the Copa de la Reina. She made her debut in the Primera División on 30 May 2021 against Santa Teresa. [3] After Mariasun Quiñones transferred to Athletic Club a month later, Lete became the starting goalkeeper.

Lete won the Zamora trophy for the 2021–22 season as Real Sociedad finished runners-up and achieved their first qualification for the Champions League; she kept a clean sheet in eleven matches and conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game. In February 2023, the club announced that it would renew Lete's contract through to the end of the 2024–25 season. As goalkeeper she was key to the "txuri-urdin" squad, although Adriana Nanclares kept goal in some matches. [7]

International play

Lete has been selected for Spain in the Under-17, Under-19, Under-20 and Under-23 categories. [3] [8] She was set to be involved in the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, however a leg injury forced her to withdraw from the squad. [9]

In 2023 Lete was selected for the Spain senior team [10] and made her debut against the Czech Republic, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 win; however, she did not make the final selection for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup squad. [11]
