Club career

Garmendia was born in Basauri, Biscay. [1] A product of Athletic Bilbao's famed youth system, he made his first-team debut in 2006–07's first matchday, a 1–1 local derby against Real Sociedad. [2]

During his three-season spell with the Basques, Garmendia never appeared in more than 18 La Liga matches, totalling 51 overall. [1] He scored his first goal in the competition on 10 December 2006, helping to a 4–2 home win over Recreativo de Huelva. [3]

In late July 2009, Garmendia bought out the remaining year of his contract and moved to Segunda División club CD Numancia in a 2+1 deal; his former Athletic teammate Iñigo Vélez also made the move. [4] He continued competing at that level the following years, with Girona FC [5] and CD Mirandés, [6] suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury whilst at the service of the former that sidelined him for several months. [7]

On 1 September 2014, Garmendia joined Real Murcia CF, recently relegated to the Segunda División B. [8] He continued playing in the lower leagues until his retirement, [9] [10] [11] which was confirmed in May 2022 at the age of 36. [12]
