Aimar Sagastibelza Caballero, simply known as Aimar (born 5 July 1984), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Unión mainly as a defender.

Football career

Born in Leitza, Navarre, Aimar made his debuts as a senior with Tolosa CF in the 2005–06 season, in Tercera División. After a short stint at SD Beasain he joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona, initially being assigned to the farm team also in the fourth level.

In the 2008 summer Aimar was promoted to the Catalans' first-team, in Segunda División. He played his first match as a professional on 22 November 2008, featuring the last 11 minutes of a 1–1 away draw against Real Murcia.[1]

On 16 September 2009 Aimar rescinded his link with Nàstic,[2] and moved to CD Teruel in the fourth division a day later.[3] He appeared in 36 matches and scored once during his first season, which ended in promotion.

On 28 June 2012 Aimar joined Segunda División B's SD Eibar.[4] He appeared sparingly with the Armeros, who were promoted to the second level after a four-year absence, and subsequently moved to Real Unión also in division three.[5]
