Club career
Real Sociedad
Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Albistegi finished his youth career with local SD Eibar, making his senior debut with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in Tercera División. After appearing with the first team in the Segunda División B he joined Real Sociedad in 2007, being initially assigned to the B side also of the third division.
On 19 June 2010, Albistegi made his professional debut with the Txuri-urdin, playing the last 24 minutes in a 4–1 away loss against Elche CF in the Segunda División.[1] He returned to the third tier only two months later, signing on loan with former club Eibar.[2]
Later years
Albistegi terminated his contract with Real Sociedad in August 2011,[3] joining UD Logroñés the same month.[4] He continued to compete in division three the following years, representing Real Unión,[5] CD Toledo[6] and Lleida Esportiu.[7]
On 14 July 2016, Albistegi signed for CF Reus Deportiu, newly-promoted to the second division.[8] The following 28 June, he agreed to a two-year contract with CD Mirandés one level below.[9]
Personal life
Three of Albistegi's family members were also professional footballers: his grandfather Alberto featured in the top flight for Real Sociedad and CA Osasuna, his father Germán had links to Eibar and his paternal uncle, also named Alberto, played for Sociedad and Deportivo Alavés among others.[10][11]
