Aritz López Garai (born 6 November 1980) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder.
Football career
López Garai was born in Barakaldo, Biscay. An unsuccessful youth graduate of Athletic Bilbao, he spent the vast majority of his professional career in second and third divisions.
López Garai represented CD Baskonia (Bilbao's farm team), Gernika Club, UB Conquense, UD Salamanca, CD Castellón, Celta de Vigo, Córdoba CF – two spells – and Sporting de Gijón, rarely settling with a team but being always first-choice. He signed with Andalusia's Córdoba for the second time in the 2014 summer, following a short loan spell with the same club from Gijón, and made his La Liga debut on 25 August 2014 at the age of 33, starting in a 0–2 away loss against Real Madrid.[1]
On 28 January 2015, López Garai rescinded with the Blanquiverdes.[2] Less than one month later he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Romania's FC Rapid București.[3]
