Club career [edit]
Born in Sestao, Biscay, Uriarte was promoted to Basque giants Athletic Bilbao's first team at only 17, making his La Liga debut on 23 September 1962 in a 0–2 away loss against CD Málaga. At the end of his fourth season, aged 21, he had already appeared in 100 league matches, scoring 14 goals.
In the 1967–68 season Uriarte netted a career-best 22 goals in only 24 games (35/28 overall), helping Athletic to the seventh position in the league. In the following year he conquered the first of his two Spanish Cups with the club, and left in 1974 with 389 official appearances (121 goals).[1]
Subsequently Uriarte joined Málaga, achieving one promotion and two relegations with the Andalusians and retiring in 1977 at the age of 32. He worked as a coach in the following decades, managing both Athletic's reserve and youth sides, amongst others.
International career [edit]
Uriarte gained nine caps for Spain during four years, his debut coming on 28 February 1968 in a friendly with Sweden, in Seville.
In another exhibition game, a 2–1 win over Italy on 20 February 1971, he scored his only international goal.
