Club career

[edit]

Born in Barakaldo, López graduated from the Athletic Bilbao academy in 2014, having joined the Lezama youth setup in 2006.[2][3] After two seasons with the C-team (during which period he also played in the UEFA Youth League and the Premier League International Cup),[3] he was promoted to the reserves on 7 June 2016.[4] On 22 August, he made his debut in the third tier, playing the whole ninety minutes of a 3–0 victory against UD Socuéllamos.[5]

In February 2018, López was called to the senior squad by manager José Ángel Ziganda for a domestic league fixture against Girona FC as a replacement for the injured Mikel Balenziaga.[2] On 4 February, he made his first team debut in the match, playing the entire ninety minutes and conceding a penalty in the first half of a 2–0 defeat.[2][6]

On 17 August 2018, López was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería until the end of the season.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 4 November, netting the winner in a 2–1 home defeat of Sporting de Gijón.[8]

On 7 August 2019, López moved to fellow second division side Elche CF also in a temporary deal.[9] A backup to Juan Cruz, he contributed with 21 appearances overall as his side achieved promotion to La Liga.

On 1 September 2020, López moved to UD Logroñés in the second level on a two-year contract,[10] with Athletic retaining a buy-back clause.[11] On 28 January 2022, he moved to SD Amorebieta.[12]

On 1 September 2022, after suffering relegation, López joined CD Tenerife still in division two, on a one-year contract.[13] After just two league matches, he moved to fellow league team CD Lugo the following 31 January.[14]
