Club career[]

Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, Santamaría joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2005, aged ten. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2012–13 campaign, in Tercera División.

On 26 May 2014, after scoring 20 goals for Basconia, Santamaría was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1] He was also the club's topscorer during the season with 18 goals in 40 appearances, as the B-side returned to Segunda División after a 19-year absence.[2]

Santamaría made his professional debut on 24 August 2015, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC.[3] He scored his first goal in the second tier on 6 September, netting his team's first in a 3–1 home win against RCD Mallorca.

On 20 July 2016, Santamaría was loaned to Cádiz CF in the second level, for one year.[4] After being rarely used, he terminated his contract with Athletic on 30 August 2017 and immediately joined Recreativo de Huelva, with his former team retaining an option to reacquire him at the end of the season.[5][6]

On 6 July 2018, Santamaría signed a one-year contract with another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B also in the third division.[7]

On 3 July 2019, he joined to CD Badajoz.[8]
