Jon Karrikaburu Jaimerena (born 19 September 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Racing de Santander, on loan from Real Sociedad.
Born in Elizondo, Navarre, Karrikaburu joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2014, aged 12. He made his senior debut with the C-team at the age of just 17 on 14 September 2019, starting and scoring his team's only in a 2–1 Tercera División away loss against Pasaia.[1]
Karrikaburu scored ten goals for the C's during his first senior season, and netted an impressive rate of 22 goals in only 20 matches for the side in his second; highlights included two hat-tricks against Aurrerá Ondarroa (4–1 home win) and Balmaseda (4–2 away win) and four goals in a 6–1 thrashing of Deusto. On his debut for the reserves on 28 March 2021, he also scored the side's third in a 4–1 win over Alavés B in the Segunda División B.
On 3 May 2021, Karrikaburu renewed his contract until 2026.[2] He made an instant impact for the B-side after his debut, contributing with four goals in nine appearances as his side returned to the Segunda División after a 59-year absence; one of his goals was an extra time winner in a 2–1 defeat of Algeciras, which sealed Sanses promotion.[3]
Karrikaburu made his professional debut on 14 August 2021, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 home win over CD Leganés.[4] He made his first team debut on 30 September, replacing fellow youth graduate Mikel Oyarzabal in a 1–1 home draw against Monaco, for the season's UEFA Europa League.[5]
On 15 January 2023, Karrikaburu was loaned to second division side Leganés for the remainder of the season.[6] On 1 September, he moved to Alavés in the top tier also in a temporary deal.[7]
On 6 January 2024, after being rarely used, Karrikaburu's loan with Alavés was terminated,[8] and he moved to FC Andorra in the second division on loan for the remainder of the season the following day.[9] On 20 July, he agreed to a one-year loan to fellow league team Racing de Santander.[10]
