Joseba Garmendia Elorriaga (born 4 October 1985 in Basauri, Biscay) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for SD Formentera as a midfielder.

Club career

A product of Athletic Bilbao's famed youth system, Garmendia made his first-team debut in 2006–07's first matchday, a 1–1 local derby against Real Sociedad.[1] During his three-season spell with the Basques, he never appeared in more than 18 La Liga matches; he scored his first goal in the competition on 10 December 2006, helping to a 4–2 home win over Recreativo de Huelva.[2]

In late July 2009, Garmendia bought out the remaining year of his contract and moved to second division club CD Numancia in a 2+1 contract – former Athletic teammate Iñigo Vélez also made the move.[3] He continued competing in that level in the following years, with Girona FC[4] and CD Mirandés,[5] suffering an anterior cruciate ligament whilst at the service of the former that sidelined him for several months.[6]

On 1 September 2014, Garmendia joined Real Murcia, recently relegated to division three.[7] He continued competing in the lower leagues until his retirement.[8][9][10]
