After being without a club for a year following his departure from Almeria, Inigo Eguaras has finally received an opportunity to extend his interesting and relatively successful career. The experienced Spanish player, who is 32 years old, has officially joined Celje. We first reported yesterday that he has signed with the Štajerci. The Celje club explained that the midfielder has signed a contract with them until the end of the current season.
“The 32-year-old player, who excels in the position of defensive midfielder, is a product of Athletic Bilbao. He played for the Basque pride in all youth categories and was also a member of the reserve team before switching from Bilbao to Sabadell in the summer of 2014. After just one season, he joined Mirandes, who narrowly missed out on the play-off for promotion to La Liga by just two points in the recently concluded season. Although Mirandes was unable to replicate that success in the following two seasons, Eguaras stood out, contributing to the score sheet eighteen times in two seasons (7 goals, 11 assists). This earned him a transfer to Real Zaragoza, where he remained until January 2022. With Zaragoza, he twice came close to playing in the top Spanish league through the play-offs, but once Numancia and another time Elche were better.” the club noted on their official website.
At the Z’dežele Stadium, they added regarding their new signing: “In January 2022, he transferred to Almeria and, at the end of the season, secured promotion to La Liga as the champions of the second Spanish league. In the 2022/23 season, Eguaras made 25 appearances in the Spanish top division, scoring one goal and providing one assist.“
