A product of local Real Sociedad's youth system, Illarramendi spent the vast majority of his first four senior seasons with the B team, contributing with 27 games and two goals in 2009–10, as the Basque returned to Segunda División B after one year out. On 19 June 2010, in the last day of the Segunda División campaign, as the first team had already sealed its La Liga promotion, as champions, he made his first appearance, in a 1–4 away loss against Elche CF.[1]
On 23 January 2011, Illarramendi made his top division debut, in a 1–2 loss at Villarreal CF.[2] The following month, he first appeared as a starter, playing the full 90 minutes in another away defeat (1–4 against RCD Espanyol);[3] the bulk of the season was spent, however, with the reserves, in level three.
