Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta Etxeberria (born 6 August 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca mainly as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Ruiz de Galarreta joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system in 2003, aged 10. On 14 December 2011, while still a junior, he made his debut with the first team, coming on as a substitute for Borja Ekiza in the 88th minute of a 2–4 away loss against Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in that season's UEFA Europa League;[1] during his first year, however, he was almost exclusively played with the reserves in Segunda División B.

On 2 August 2012, Ruiz de Galarreta made his second appearance for the main squad, again in the Europa League but now against NK Slaven Belupo (27 minutes played, 3–1 home win).[2] He played his first La Liga game on the 19th of the same month, replacing Gaizka Toquero at half-time of an eventual 3–5 home defeat to Real Betis.[3]

During a match with the B-side against Lleida Esportiu on 21 October 2012, Ruiz de Galarreta ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament on his left knee, being sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.[4][5] For 2013–14 he was loaned to CD Mirandés of Segunda División,[6] where in a home game against CD Numancia, on 27 October, he suffered the same injury.[7]

The following years, Ruiz de Galarreta played with Real Zaragoza[8] and CD Leganés on loan,[9] helping the latter club achieve a first-ever promotion to the top flight in 2016. He continued to compete in the second division subsequently, representing Numancia,[10] FC Barcelona B and UD Las Palmas.[11]

On 2 September 2019, Ruiz de Galarreta signed a four-year contract with RCD Mallorca in the top tier, and remained on loan at Las Palmas for the upcoming season.[12]

International career

Ruiz de Galarreta started representing Spain at under-17 level, appearing in friendlies against Portugal, Faroe Islands and Romania. He also played for the under-18s and the under-19s.
