Mikel Dañobeitia Martín (born 5 March 1986) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a right winger.

Club career

An Athletic Bilbao youth graduate, Dañobeitia was born in Barakaldo, Basque Country, and served some loans (including at its farm team, CD Basconia) before being promoted to the main squad for the 2005–06 season. He made his La Liga debut on 26 October 2005, playing 70 minutes in a 3–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.[2] He scored his only goal on 17 December that, helping the hosts to beat Real Betis 2–0.[3]

Following a relatively successful first year, Dañobeitia only appeared in six matches in his second, being released and joining UD Salamanca of Segunda División. In the 2008–09 campaign, he reunited with former Athletic youth teammate Gorka Azkorra.[4][5]

Dañobeitia moved to another club at that level on 9 July 2009, Córdoba CF.[6] After just seven games in his second season, under Lucas Alcaraz, he left the Andalusians and signed for UD Logroñés in the Segunda División B.[7]
