Club career
Born in Iurreta, Biscay, Basque Country, Areitio played youth football for Iurretako FT and Athletic Bilbao.[1] He made his debut as a senior for the latter's farm team in 2014, in Tercera División.
On 8 June 2015, Areitio was released by Athletic,[2] and subsequently joined SCD Durango also in the fourth division.[3] On 13 July of the following year he moved to fellow league team CD Vitoria, SD Eibar's reserves.[4]
On 17 September 2016, Areitio was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against Sevilla FC, as starter Asier Riesgo was suspended.[5] He made his professional debut just hours later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Bebé in a 1–1 draw at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium after Yoel was sent off.[6]
Personal life
Areitio comes from a family of goalkeepers: his grandfather's brother Carmelo Cedrún was a Spanish international, while his uncle Andoni Cedrún appeared in more than 300 league matches for Real Zaragoza. Both also represented Athletic as a youth.[7]
