Iñaki Bea Jauregi (born 27 June 1978 in Amurrio, Basque Country) is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Wacker Innsbruck in Austria, as a central defender.
After starting out with modest clubs in the Basque Country, and having a stint in the third division with Ciudad de Murcia, Bea had his first taste of professional football at Lorca Deportiva CF in 2005–06, helping the side retain its Segunda División status.
Subsequently, he joined Real Valladolid, scoring three goals in 35 matches as the Castile and León side returned to the top flight in 2007 after a three-year absence, but being less used in the following years - only seven games in 2007–08.
In July 2009, Bea was released, moving to the second level with Real Murcia, being relegated in his first and only season, and being subsequently released. Aged 32, he had his first experience abroad, signing a 1+1 contract with Austrian side FC Wacker Innsbruck.[1] He made his Bundesliga debut on 18 July 2010, playing the entire 4–0 home win against SK Rapid Wien.
