Urko Izeta

Urko Iruretagoiena Lertxundi (born 29 September 1999), known as Urko Izeta or just Izeta, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a striker for Bilbao Athletic.

Career
Born in Aia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Izeta joined SD Eibar's youth sides in 2016, after representing Zarautz KE and Ostadar SKT. After making his senior debut with the club's second reserve team SD Eibar Urko during the 2017–18 season, he was promoted to farm team CD Vitoria in 2018.

On 24 February 2020, Izeta renewed his contract with the Armeros until 2022. On 1 September of the following year, he was loaned to Segunda División RFEF side Arenas Club de Getxo, for one year.

Izeta scored 19 goals overall for Arenas during the campaign, as the club missed out promotion in the play-offs. On 18 July 2022, he further extended his link with Eibar until 2024, being immediately loaned to Primera Federación side SD Amorebieta for the season.

On 19 January 2023, Izeta's loan to Amore was terminated as he was transferred to Athletic Bilbao; he signed two-and-a-half-year deal and was initially assigned to the B-team. Unable to prevent relegation in his first campaign, he scored a career-best 21 goals in his second as the Cachorros returned to the third level after winning their group.
