Oier Olazábal Paredes (born 14 September 1989), known as Oier Olazábal, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Levante UD as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Irun, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Oier arrived in FC Barcelona's youth academy at the age of 18, from local Real Unión.[1] He spent his first years with the reserves as backup to another youth product, Rubén.

On 2 January 2008, Oier made his debut for the first team, in the 2–2 home draw against CD Alcoyano for the season's Copa del Rey.[2] More than one year after, on 17 May, he appeared for the first time in La Liga as Barça were already champions, in a 1–2 away loss to RCD Mallorca.[3]

For the 2009–10 campaign, after Albert Jorquera left for neighbours Girona FC, Oier was promoted to third-choice. He still continued to appear regularly for the B's, however.

Granada

On 11 July 2014, Oier signed a four-year deal with Granada CF for an undisclosed fee.[4] On 25 August of the following year, he was loaned to fellow league team Real Sociedad in a season-long deal.[5]
