Garazi Murua Astorkiza (born 24 January 1995) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defender. Her only professional team was Athletic Club, where she was the captain for several seasons.[2]
Murua started her career in Bizkerre's academy.[3] In 2014 she spent one semester in the United States playing with the ETSU Buccaneers (East Tennessee State University) as part of a degree in economics she was undertaking at the University of the Basque Country.[4] Soon after returning to Bilbao, she made her Primera División debut for Athletic, and in her first full season – 2015–16 – the club finished as national champions.[5]
A back injury sustained before the start of the 2022–23 season caused her to miss all of the campaign.[6] Having agreed a one-year contract extension in the hope of returning to full fitness,[7] she was named among the substitutes for 13 league and cup fixtures towards the end of 2023–24 but never made a competitive comeback, retiring as a player in June 2024 aged 29.[8] She was honoured with a farewell ceremony and a last starting appearance - along with fellow departing veterans Yulema Corres and Eunate Arraiza - on the final matchday of the season, in which Athletic defeated Sevilla 2–1 at San Mamés.[9] [10]
