Aritz Solabarrieta Aranzamendi (born 22 July 1983 in Ondarroa, Basque Country) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a right midfielder.
Football career
A product of Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth ranks at Lezama, Solabarrieta played only one full season for its first team, in 2004–05, helping with 11 games as the Basque finished ninth. His La Liga debut came on 13 November 2004 in a 2–1 home win against Villarreal CF, as he came on as a substitute for Andoni Iraola in injury time.
After a loan with neighbours SD Eibar in the second division, which ended in relegation, Solabarrieta was released by the Lions in December 2006 and resumed his career in the third level, starting with Atlético Madrid B.
