Club career
Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Albistegi finished his graduation with local SD Eibar, making his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in Tercera División. After appearing with the first team in Segunda División B he joined Real Sociedad in 2007, being initially assigned to the B-side also in the third division.
On 19 June 2010, Albistegi made his professional debut with the Txuri-urdin, playing the last 24 minutes in a 1–4 away loss against Elche CF for the Segunda División championship.[1] He returned to the third level only two months later, signing on loan with former club Eibar.[2]
Albistegi terminated his contract with the Basques in August 2011,[3] joining UD Logroñés during that month.[4] He continued to compete in division three in the following years, representing Real Unión,[5] CD Toledo[6] and Lleida Esportiu.[7]
On 14 July 2016, Albistegi signed for CF Reus Deportiu, newly promoted to the second tier.[8] The following 28 June, he agreed to a two-year contract with CD Mirandés in the same division.[9]
