Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Eraso graduated from Athletic Bilbao's youth setup, and started playing as a senior in the 2008–09 season with CD Basconia, in Tercera División. One year later, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.

On 19 June 2013, Eraso was released by the Lions[1] and joined CD Leganés also of the third division the following month.[2] He appeared in 42 games during the campaign, as the Madrid club was promoted to Segunda División after a ten-year absence.

On 31 May 2015, Eraso scored a hat-trick in a 5–2 away rout of FC Barcelona B.[5] On 1 July he returned to Athletic, now being assigned to the first team in La Liga.[6]

Eraso made his official debut for Athletic on 30 July 2015, starting and scoring both goals in a 2–0 win against Inter Baku PIK at the San Mamés Stadium in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[7] He netted his first top-flight goal on 13 February of the following year, equalising an eventual 2–4 away loss to Real Madrid.[8]

Eraso returned to Leganés on 24 July 2017, with the side now competing in the top division.[9]
