Gorka Patricio Luariz-Ayerdi Rona (born 20 December 1992) is a Spanish-born Equatoguinean footballer who plays as a forward for Arenas Club de Getxo and the Equatorial Guinea national team.

Early life

Luariz was born in Zaragoza, Aragon to a Basque father and an Equatoguinean mother, a Bubi from Malabo. He spent his childhood in Sangüesa, Vitoria-Gasteiz and San Sebastián.[1]

Club career

He was called up by the Basque Country national team at youth levels.

Having developed at Antiguoko, he was signed by Athletic Bilbao in 2010, but suffered a cruciate ligament knee injury in his maiden campaign in their youth system and was released after an unremarkable loan with the reserve team of Real Unión.[1]

Since then he moved around several teams, most located in the Basque Country, in the third and fourth tiers of Spanish football.[1]

International career

Luariz made his national team debut as a substitute against Madagascar in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.

Personal life

At age 17, Luariz had a sentimental problem which caused him to lose all his body hair.[1] Luariz's middle name, Patricio, is a tribute to his grandfather.[1]
