Mikel Orbegozo Orbegozo (born 15 April 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Getafe CF B as a striker.

Football career

Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Orbegozo began his career with hometown club Real Sociedad, playing four seasons with the reserves. In 2009–10 he scored a career-best 26 goals, as the Basque returned to the third division after one year out.

On 2 July 2011, free agent Orbegozo signed a contract with neighbouring Athletic Bilbao, keeping him at the club until 2014.[1] He was immediately assigned to the B-team, also in the third level.

In early January 2012, Orbegozo was loaned to Gimnàstic de Tarragona in division two, on a six-month deal.[2] He made his league debut on the 13th, in a 0–1 away loss against Celta de Vigo.[3]

After subsequently serving loan stints at Sestao River Club[4] and SD Amorebieta (both in his native Basque Country),[5] Orbegozo was released by the Lions on 26 May 2014.[6] On 15 June he joined another reserve team, Getafe CF B.[7]
