Club career

Expósito graduated from Lezama, Athletic Bilbao's renowned youth academy, and made his debuts for the first team during 1999–2000, while also representing the B team. From 2003–05, after a season-long loan with CD Numancia in the second division, he represented neighbours CA Osasuna, also in La Liga.

In 2005, Expósito returned to Athletic as a full first-team member but, after making just three appearances in 2007–08, joined Hércules CF in the second level. After one sole season, he joined another team in the category, freshly promoted FC Cartagena.

Personal

Expósito is the nephew of Iosu Expósito, ex-guitarist and singer of Spanish punk rock band Eskorbuto.[1]
