Joseba Garmendia Elorriaga (born 4 October 1985 in Basauri, Biscay) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Murcia as a midfielder.
Football career
A product of Athletic Bilbao's famed youth system, Garmendia made his first-team debut in 2006–07's first matchday, in a 1–1 local derby with Real Sociedad.[1] During his three-year professional spell with the Basque, he never appeared in more than 18 La Liga games; he scored his first goal in the competition on 10 December 2006, helping to a 4–2 home win against Recreativo de Huelva.[2]
In late July 2009, Garmendia bought out the remaining year of his contract and moved to CD Numancia in the second division, in a 2+1 link – former Athletic teammate Iñigo Vélez also made the move.[3] He continued competing in the category in the following years, with Girona FC[4] and CD Mirandés,[5] suffering an anterior cruciate ligament whilst at the service of the former that sidelined him for several months.[6]
On 1 September 2014 Garmendia joined Real Murcia, freshly relegated to the third level.[7]
