Alexander "Álex" Petxarroman Eizaguirre (born 6 February 1997), sometimes referred as Álex Petxa, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Deportivo de La Coruña.
Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Petxarroman joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2010, from Antiguoko.[1] Promoted to farm team CD Berio FT in July 2015, he made his senior debut during the campaign, in Tercera División.
On 9 August 2017, after one season with the C-team (as Berio was fully integrated into the club's structure), Petxarroman was loaned to Segunda División B side Gernika Club, for one year.[2] Upon returning in July 2018, he was assigned to Real Sociedad's reserves also in the third division.
Petxarroman spent the most of the 2019–20 campaign sidelined due to a knee injury suffered in October 2019.[3] He was a key component and team captain of the B's in 2020–21, playing in 20 league matches (play-offs included) and scoring twice as his side returned to Segunda División after an absence of 59 years.[4]
On 3 June 2021, Petxarroman failed to agree a contract renewal with Real Sociedad and left the club after eleven years.[5]
On 1 July 2021, Petxarroman signed a three-year contract with La Liga side Athletic Bilbao.[6] [7] He made his professional debut on 31 October, replacing Óscar de Marcos late into a 1–1 away draw against his former side Real Sociedad.[8]
On 10 August 2022, Petxarroman was loaned to Segunda División newcomers FC Andorra for the season.[9] On 24 July of the following year, he signed a permanent two-year contract with the club.[10]
On 15 July 2024, after Andorra's relegation, Petxarroman signed a four-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña, newly promoted to division two.[11]
