Jokin Arcaya Esparza (born 15 June 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left midfielder.
Esparza was born in Pamplona, Navarre. After emerging through local CA Osasuna's youth academy, he made his La Liga debut on 17 June 2007 in a 1–2 home loss against Atlético Madrid.[1] He would only appear in five more matches for the first team in the following two seasons combined, however, which prompted a loan to Segunda División club SD Huesca in January 2009; he was relatively used during his first spell, as they retained their recently acquired status.
For the 2010–11 campaign, Esparza was again loaned to Huesca in a season-long move.[2] In August 2011, he signed a permanent deal with the Aragonese.[3]
In February 2013, Esparza joined Panathinaikos FC of the Superleague Greece, agreeing to a six-month contract.[4] In late May of the following year, after a brief spell back in his country with lowly Zamora CF, he moved to another Greek top flight side, Veria FC.[5]
