Javier Eraso Goñi (Spanish pronunciation: [xaˈβjeɾ eˈɾaso]; born 22 March 1990) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Eraso graduated from Athletic Bilbao's youth setup, and started playing as a senior in the 2008–09 season with CD Basconia, in the Tercera División. One year later, he was promoted to the reserves in the Segunda División B.[2]

On 19 June 2013, Eraso was released by the Lions[3] and joined CD Leganés also of the third division the following month.[4] He appeared in 42 games during the campaign, as the Madrid club was promoted to Segunda División after a ten-year absence.[5]

Eraso played his first match as a professional on 7 September 2014, starting in a 3–1 home win against RCD Mallorca.[6] He scored his first goal in the second tier on 21 December, the last in 2–0 home victory over Recreativo de Huelva.[7][5]

On 31 May 2015, Eraso scored a hat-trick in a 5–2 away rout of FC Barcelona B.[8] On 1 July he returned to Athletic, now being assigned to the first team in La Liga.[9]

Eraso made his official debut for Athletic on 30 July 2015, starting and scoring both goals in a 2–0 win against Inter Baku PIK at the San Mamés Stadium in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[10] He netted his first top-flight goal on 13 February of the following year, equalising an eventual 4–2 away loss to Real Madrid.[11]

Eraso returned to Leganés on 24 July 2017, with the side now competing in the top division.[12] He went on to make 215 competitive appearances over two spells at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque,[13] being relegated in 2019–20.[14]

On 4 July 2022, Eraso moved abroad for the first time in his career, with the 32-year-old signing a two-year contract with Cypriot First Division newcomers Akritas Chlorakas.[15] On 12 July of the following year, he returned to Spain and its second division after agreeing to a deal with SD Amorebieta.[16]
