Career & Clubs

Club career

Unai was born in Portugalete, Biscay. After three seasons playing with modest sides in the Catalonia area, he represented CP Mérida in 1999–2000's Segunda División, where he produced a fine individual campaign; however, although the Extremadurans finished sixth, the club was relegated due to unpaid wages. Subsequently, Unai joined Villarreal CF, which had just returned to La Liga. He was relatively used during three seasons, also adding three goals in his first. His first match in the competition took place on 28 October 2000, when he came off the bench in a 0–0 home draw against Athletic Bilbao. Following a string of injuries (some serious), Unai had an unassuming loan spell at Albacete Balompié, being released in June 2004 and going on to represent Elche CF, UE Lleida (second tier) and CF Gavà (Segunda División B). He settled in Andorra after retiring aged 31, going on to notably work for Promoesport as sports agent for several players and managers.

International career

On 28 February 2001, Unai made his sole appearance for Spain, playing 90 minutes in a 3–0 friendly loss against England in Birmingham. Previously, he represented the nation at the 2000 Summer Olympics, playing three times for the silver medalists. Unai was the first-ever Villarreal player to be called up for either team.
