Egoitz Jaio Gabiola (born 13 August 1980) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.

Football career

Born in Abadiño, Biscay, Jaio spent his first professional years with Athletic Bilbao, but never made it past the reserves of the Basque Country giants, in Segunda División B. He resumed his career in Segunda División, consecutively with Racing de Ferrol (twice), Algeciras CF and Gimnàstic de Tarragona; as a starter with the latter, he achieved promotion to La Liga in 2006.

That summer, Jaio moved clubs also in the second division, joining CD Numancia and being irregularly used during his stint. Aged almost 29, he made his top level debut in a 2–0 home win against Málaga CF on 2 May 2009 (he appeared precisely in the last five rounds, as the Soria team was already relegated).[1]
