Club career

Oier was born in Estella-Lizarra, Navarre. A product of hometown CD Izarra's youth academy, he completed his development at neighbouring CA Osasuna. He made his La Liga debut on 24 September 2008 in a game against Deportivo de La Coruña, coming on for Nacho Monreal in the tenth minute of an eventual 0–0 home draw;[1] although he spent most of the season with the B team, he still managed a further nine league appearances.

In his first full professional campaign, Oier started the first five matches at right back as starter César Azpilicueta was away on international duty.[2] He found his chances limited after the latter's return, and was subsequently loaned to RC Celta de Vigo on 11 July 2011.[3]

After being a starter for the Galicians as the season ended in promotion, Oier returned to Osasuna and renewed his contract until 2015.[4] He scored two goals from 28 appearances in 2012–13,[5][6] but the club returned to Segunda División after a 14-year stay.
