Club career[]

Athletic Bilbao[]

Born in Amorebieta-Etxano, Biscay, Aurtenetxe joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system at the age of 10, arriving from neighbouring SD Amorebieta and being a finalist in the Copa del Rey Juvenil in 2009[1] (he would conquer that competition the following year).[2] On 16 December of that year, even before playing his first game with the reserves, the 17-year-old appeared for the first team in the UEFA Europa League, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 group stage home loss against Werder Bremen.[3]

Aurtenetxe made his La Liga debut on 28 August 2010, starting and being booked in a 1–0 win at Hércules CF.[4] His season was curtailed by a serious shoulder injury,[5] and he was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2011–12 under new manager Marcelo Bielsa;[6] he played 54 official matches during the campaign and scored four goals, to help the Basques reach both the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals – he netted an important one in the club's 2–1 away loss against Sporting CP in the latter competition's semi-finals (4–3 aggregate win).[7]

Aurtenetxe was a regular selection for Athletic in 2012–13 but, after the appointment of Ernesto Valverde as manager, he was overlooked for Mikel Balenziaga and featured rarely.[8] He served loans at RC Celta de Vigo (top division)[9] and CD Tenerife (Segunda División),[10] and in summer 2016 he terminated his contract and moved to second level side CD Mirandés on a one-year deal.[11]

Amorebieta and Dundee[]

In August 2017, after some weeks without a club, Aurtenexte joined Segunda División B's Amorebieta, returning to where he had played as a child 15 years earlier and reuniting with his former Athletic teammate Joseba Etxeberria who was now acting as manager.[12][13] On 29 August, it was announced that he had left.[14]

On 30 August 2017, Aurtenetxe signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee on a contract until January 2018.[15] He made his league debut on 28 October, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute in a 3–1 home loss against Hamilton Academical.[16] He agreed to a new deal on 12 January 2018 that kept him at Dens Park until the end of the season,[17] following which he was released.[18]

Aurtenetxe returned to Amorebieta for the 2018 pre-season, on the same understanding as the previous year that he would be allowed to leave if he received a better offer from another club.[19] On 19 July, he acted as captain in a friendly match against former employers Athletic Bilbao.[20]

Adelaide Comets[]

In late December 2018, Aurtenetxe agreed to join Australian National Premier League side Adelaide Comets FC for the upcoming season, with the deal being made effective the following month.[21][22] He returned to Spain and its third level on 18 July 2019, signing a one-year contract at CD Atlético Baleares.[23]

International career[]

Aurtenetxe won two caps for the Spanish under-21 team, in as many friendlies. His debut was on 13 November 2012, in a 3–1 defeat of Italy in Siena.[24][25]
