Oier Zarraga Egaña (born 4 January 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Italian club Udinese Calcio.
Born in Getxo, Biscay, Basque Country, Zarraga joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2009, from hometown side Romo FC.[2] He made his senior debut with the farm team during the 2017–18 season, in Tercera División.
Zarraga made his debut with the reserves on 3 February 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gaizka Larrazabal in a 2–1 Segunda División B home win against SD Leioa. Definitely promoted to the B-side in June 2019,[3] he subsequently became a regular starter for the team, playing in all matches of the 2019–20 campaign before the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July 2020, Zarraga was called up to the pre-season with the main squad.[4] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 18 October, replacing Unai López in a 2–0 home win against Levante UD.[5] [6] In February 2021 he signed a new contract running to summer 2023, also confirming his status as a first team squad member.[7]
On 29 June 2023, Zarraga moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing a four-year contract with Serie A side Udinese Calcio.[8]
