Goodbye day in the Athletic. At the announcement of the march of Gorka
Guruzeta this morning it was joined shortly after by Andoni
Lopez. The left-back terminates his contract with the rojiblanco club and will play this season in the U. D. Logroñés in Second. He has signed for two seasons, although the Bilbao club has reserved a purchase option for the first year.
Andoni
Lopez grew as a player in the quarry of Athletic. Promising left back was surpassing levels to stand out with the Bilbao
Athletic where he started both with Joseph
Angel
Ziganda as with Gaizka
Garitano.
With the Navarrese coach on the first team bench came the opportunity to make his debut in the Athletic. He did it in a match against him Girona in Montilivi in February 2018. It was not a good game for the lions in general. They lost 2-0 and their own Andoni
Lopez committed a penalty.
He did not have another opportunity with the first team. After playing against him Girona, returned to Bilbao
Athletic and, in the last two seasons, he has played on loan. He had no place in a squad where they were as left backs Yuri
Berchiche, Balenziaga and Win.
The last two years he has played on loan in Almería and Elche, both in the Second Division
Last season he played in the Almeria in Second and, this season, it has been part of Elche what has the ascent
to
First. With the Elche team, he has played a total of 21 games, 19 of League and two others from Cup. However, in the promotion promotion meetings he did not have minutes. He was a substitute in the two qualifying rounds against Saragossa and Girona.
He still had a season of contract with him Athletic. However, the player and the club have reached an agreement to rescind the commitment between them and, in this way, Andoni
Lopez goes free to reinforce the U. D. Logroñés who will play this season in Second.
