Career

[edit]

Zoilo was born in Beasain, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, and joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2012 at the age of 12.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 25 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Tercera División home draw against Club Portugalete.[2]

Zoilo scored his first senior goal on 14 February 2021, netting the C's fifth in a 5–0 home routing of Urgatzi KK,[3] and ended the campaign with 25 appearances as the side achieved promotion to Segunda División RFEF. On 1 July, he renewed his contract until 2023, and spent the entire pre-season with the reserves.[4]

Zoilo made his professional debut with the B-team on 18 September 2021, replacing fellow debutant Jon Magunazelaia in a 1–1 away draw against Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División championship.[5] The following 4 January, he moved on loan to Primera División RFEF side CD Calahorra for the remainder of the season.[6]
