Nicolás "Nico" Serrano Galdeano (born 5 March 2003) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Athletic Bilbao.
Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Serrano joined Villarreal CF's youth setup in 2015, aged 12, after representing UDC Txantrea and CA Osasuna.[1] In August 2018, at the age of 15, he signed for Athletic Bilbao.[2]
In May 2020, after finishing his formation, Serrano was promoted straight to the reserves, without playing for CD Basconia, the farm team,[3] and signed a professional contract late in the month.[4] He made his senior debut on 18 July, coming on as a second-half substitute for Juan Artola in a 1–1 home draw against CD Badajoz, in the 2020 Segunda División B play-offs.[5]
Serrano scored his first senior goal on 7 November 2020, netting the opener in a 2–1 home win over SD Amorebieta.[6] In June of the following year, he was called up by manager Marcelino to make the pre-season with the main squad.[7]
Serrano made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 11 September 2021, replacing Iñaki Williams late into a 2–0 home win over RCD Mallorca.[8] On 11 August of the following year, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for the season.[9]
On 10 August 2023, Serrano moved on a new season-long loan to PEC Zwolle in the Netherlands.[10] In January 2024, his loan at Zwolle was terminated to allow him to join Racing de Ferrol until the end of the season.[11]
Serrano represented Spain at under-16, under-17 and under-18 levels.[12]
