Oier Sanjurjo Maté (born 25 May 1986), known simply as Oier, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for and captains CA Osasuna as a defender or a defensive midfielder.
He spent the vast majority of his career with Osasuna, making over 300 appearances.
Club career[]
Oier was born in Estella-Lizarra, Navarre. A product of hometown CD Izarra's youth academy, he completed his development at neighbouring club CA Osasuna. He made his La Liga debut on 24 September 2008 in a game against Deportivo de La Coruña, coming on for Nacho Monreal in the tenth minute of an eventual 0–0 home draw.[1] Although he spent most of the season with the reserves, he still managed a further nine league appearances.
In his first full professional campaign, Oier started the first five matches at right back as starter César Azpilicueta was away on international duty.[2] He found his chances limited after the latter's return, and was subsequently loaned to RC Celta de Vigo on 11 July 2011.[3]
After being a starter for the Galicians as the season ended in promotion, Oier returned to Osasuna and renewed his contract until 2015.[4] He scored two goals from 28 appearances in 2012–13,[5][6] but the team returned to Segunda División after a 14-year stay.
Oier extended his contract for three years in June 2015,[7] and in December 2018 this was lengthened to 2020 with a buyout clause of €8 million while the side remained in the second tier.[8] He finished that season as captain of the champions.[9]
After returning to the top flight, Oier earned two new renewals, allowing him to skipper the club during its centenary in 2020.[10][11] On 31 October that year, in a 3–1 home loss to Atlético Madrid, he made his 300th official appearance for the team but also gave away a penalty by handball.[12]
International career[]
Oier was never capped by Spain at any level. He did play for the Basque Country representative team, starting from a friendly against Venezuela in December 2010.[13]
