Isaac Aketxe Barrutia (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈisak aˈketʃe]; born 30 June 1989) is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Cartagena as an attacking midfielder.

Football career

Aketxe was born in Bilbao, Biscay. Having emerged through Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth ranks (although he also played youth football with Basque neighbours Arenas Club de Getxo), he made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2009, coming on as a substitute for striker Fernando Llorente for the final ten minutes of a 3–2 home win against Villarreal CF;[1] he spent the vast majority of his first two seasons at the club with the reserve team, in the third division.

For the 2010–11 campaign, Aketxe was loaned to another side in the region, Sestao River Club in the fourth level. In the summer of 2011, his contract with Athletic was not renewed and he signed for SD Eibar in division three.[2]

Personal life

Aketxe's younger brother, Ager, is also a footballer and a midfielder. He too was groomed at Athletic Bilbao.[3] Their father, known as Isaac Aqueche due to spelling conventions of the time, played as a midfielder in the lower divisions of Spanish football[4][5] including a spell with Athletic's reserves.[6]
