Aythami Artiles Oliva (born 2 April 1986), known simply as Aythami, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.
Club career
Aythami was born in Arguineguín, Canary Islands. After successfully representing hometown's UD Las Palmas – having started out as an attacking midfielder at his first club CD Arguineguín[1][2]– he was bought in July 2007 by Deportivo de La Coruña for €600.000, signing a five-year contract.[3] He only appeared once for the Galicians in his first year, a 0–2 home loss against Recreativo de Huelva[4] and, in January 2008, was loaned to Xerez CD in the Segunda División.[5]
The loan was renewed for the entire the 2008–09 season,[6] and Aythami was an instrumental defensive element for the Andalusians, which achieved a first-ever La Liga promotion. A new loan deal was arranged for the following campaign,[7] and he continued to be first choice, also scoring two league goals[8][9] but suffering an immediate relegation.
After returning to the Estadio Riazor,[10] Aythami experienced two relegations and one promotion with the team.[11][12] The free agent re-joined Las Palmas in the summer of 2013 after agreeing to a four-year deal,[13] contributing three goals[14][15][16] from 37 appearances in 2014–15 (play-offs included) as the latter returned to the top tier after a 13-year absence.[17]
On 31 January 2018, already a fringe player, Aythami returned to division two and signed with Córdoba CF until June 2020.[18] The following 25 January, he terminated his contract[19] and returned to Las Palmas just hours later.[20]
Aythami signed a one-year deal with Primera División RFEF side Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 22 July 2021, having arrived for free.[21]
