Career

Born in San Sebastián, Txiki began playing football with local sides before attracting notice with Segunda División B side Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, in particular scoring the match-winning goal from a free-kick against Racing de Santander in the 2001–02 Copa del Rey. Shortly after, during the winter break of the 2001–02 Segunda División season, Racing manager Quique Setién signed Txiki from Cultural Leonesa.
