Gorka Larrea García (born 7 April 1984 in San Sebastián, Basque Country) is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Numancia as a midfielder.

Football career

Larrea, a product of Real Sociedad's youth system, first played with its main squad on 23 May 2004, playing 20 minutes in a 4–1 win at Real Madrid (his only game of the season; he would add a further three late substitute appearances in 2004–05). In 2006–07, he was loaned to second division side UD Almería, playing an important role in the Andalusia side's first ever top flight promotion.

In July 2007, Larrea returned to the Basque team, now in the second level, but would appear in only nine matches during the season, being subsequently released and joining Levante UD, also in the category.

He appeared regularly over the course of two second division seasons, but only played six times in 2010–11's top flight (235 minutes), leaving the club in June 2011 and signing with CD Numancia in the second division.
