Club career

Athletic Bilbao

Born in Abadiño, Biscay, Iturraspe began his career in the youth ranks of Athletic Bilbao. He suffered from persistent hip injuries which hampered his development, [2] [3] although he was still able to feature in the final of the 2013 Copa del Rey Juvenil. [4]

After one year with the farm team, Iturraspe made his debut for the reserves on 7 September 2014, playing the final 15 minutes of the 5–1 home Segunda División B rout of SD Leioa in place of Néstor Salinas. [5] On 17 May 2015, the last game of the season, he scored his first goal, in a 2–2 draw against SD Huesca at the Estadio El Alcoraz; [6] his team gained promotion via the play-offs, [7] in which he netted in a 2–0 first round victory over CF Villanovense. [8]

Iturraspe played his first match in a professional league on 30 August 2015, when he started in a 2–1 Segunda División defeat away to Elche CF. [9] He went on to feature regularly during the campaign, although always being replaced or coming on as a substitute due to his physical problems; after they were relegated, he remained with the B side the following season, again making several appearances but never completing 90 minutes. [3]

Later career

Iturraspe's contract with Athletic was terminated in summer 2017, [3] and he moved to third-division club SD Amorebieta. [10] He scored five goals in 2018–19, [11] the first being on 9 February 2019 in a 1–1 home draw against Gimnástica de Torrelavega. [12]

On 18 July 2019, Iturraspe signed for CD Atlético Baleares still in the third tier. [13] Thirteen months later, after play-off defeat to FC Cartagena on penalties, he joined CF Rayo Majadahonda. [14]

After two years in the Community of Madrid, Iturraspe returned to Amorebieta. [15] He helped the team to return to division two at the first attempt, leaving on 13 July 2023. [16]

Personal life

Iturraspe's older brother, Ander, also became a professional in the same position. He too came through at Athletic, and went on to represent Spain internationally. [17] While Ander was a long-time teammate of Markel Susaeta, Gorka signed for Rayo Majadahonda alongside the latter's cousin Néstor. [14]
