Jon Aurtenetxe Borde (born 3 January 1992) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a left-back but also as a central defender. He currently plays for club SD Amorebieta.
Born in Amorebieta-Etxano, Biscay, Aurtenetxe joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system at the age of 10, arriving from neighbouring SD Amorebieta and being a finalist in the Copa del Rey Juvenil in 2009[1] – he would lift the trophy the following year.[2] On 16 December of that year, even before playing his first game with the reserves, the 17-year-old appeared for the first team in the UEFA Europa League, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 group stage home loss against SV Werder Bremen.[3]
Aurtenetxe made his La Liga debut on 28 August 2010, starting and being booked in a 1–0 win at Hércules CF.[4] His season was curtailed by a serious shoulder injury,[5] and he was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2011–12 under new manager Marcelo Bielsa;[6] he played 54 official matches during the campaign and scored four goals to help the Basques to reach both the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals,[7] netting an important one in the club's 2–1 away defeat to Sporting CP in the latter competition's semi-finals (4–3 aggregate victory).[8]
Aurtenetxe was a regular selection for Athletic in 2012–13 but, after the appointment of Ernesto Valverde as manager, he was overlooked for Mikel Balenziaga and featured rarely.[9] He served loans at top-flight RC Celta de Vigo[10] and CD Tenerife of Segunda División,[11] and in summer 2016 he terminated his contract and moved to second-tier side CD Mirandés on a one-year deal.[12]
In August 2017, after some weeks without a club, Aurtenexte joined Segunda División B's Amorebieta, returning to where he had played as a child 15 years earlier and reuniting with his former Athletic teammate Joseba Etxeberria who was now acting as manager.[13] [14] On 29 August, it was announced that he had left.[15]
On 30 August 2017, Aurtenetxe signed for Dundee on a contract until January 2018.[16] He made his Scottish Premiership debut on 28 October, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute in a 3–1 home loss against Hamilton Academical.[17] He agreed to a new deal on 12 January 2018 that kept him at Dens Park until the end of the season,[18] following which he was released.[19]
Aurtenetxe returned to Amorebieta for the 2018 pre-season, on the same understanding as the previous year that he would be allowed to leave if he received a better offer from another club.[20] On 19 July, he acted as captain in a friendly against former employers Athletic Bilbao.[21]
In late December 2018, Aurtenetxe agreed to join Australian National Premier League side Adelaide Comets FC for the upcoming season, with the deal being made effective the following month.[22] [23] He returned to Spain and its third level on 18 July 2019, signing a one-year contract at CD Atlético Baleares.[24]
On 4 July 2021, following a brief spell at Madrid-based Las Rozas CF, Aurtenetxe moved abroad again with Miedź Legnica in the Polish I liga.[25] He was crowned champion in his first season, with the subsequent promotion to the Ekstraklasa.[26] He left the club by mutual consent in February 2023, after eight top-division appearances.[27]
Aurtenetxe went back to his homeland in July 2023, signing for Primera Federación club SD Logroñés.[28]
In August 2024, Aurtenetxe returned for a third stint at his hometown club SD Amorebieta.[29]
Aurtenetxe won two caps for the Spain under-21 team, in as many friendlies. His debut was on 13 November 2012, in a 3–1 defeat of Italy in Siena.[30] [31]
