Football career

Ansotegi was born in Berriatua, Basque Country. After starting his professional career with SD Eibar (with a loan to Barakaldo CF included), he moved to local giants Real Sociedad. He made his La Liga debut on 22 January 2006 in a 3–3 home draw against Athletic Bilbao for the Basque derby,[2] and played 33 games in his first two top flight seasons combined.

Ansotegi only missed two matches in 2009–10, being booked just six times in his 40 complete appearances – and adding four goals – as Real Sociedad returned to division one after a three-year absence. He featured in 32 contests (all starts) in the following campaign as the team retained their league status, but lost his importance in the squad following the January 2011 signing of Norwegian Vadim Demidov and the emergence of youth product Iñigo Martínez.[3]

On 1 June 2015, aged nearly 33, Ansotegi renewed his contract with Real Sociedad until 2016.[4] On 1 February of the following year, after only two Copa del Rey appearances during the first part of the season, he cut ties with the Txuriurdin and moved back to his first club Eibar after agreeing to an initial six-month deal.[5]

On 30 June 2016, Ansotegui signed a one-year contract with RCD Mallorca in Segunda División.[6] Roughly 12 months later, after suffering relegation, he announced his retirement[7] and immediate return to Real Sociedad as youth system coordinator.[8]
