Career

Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Seguín represented SD Eibar and Real Sociedad as a youth.[1] He made his debut as a senior with the latter's reserves on 8 December 2007, coming on as a half-time substitute for Oskitz in a 0–0 Segunda División B away draw against Real Valladolid B.

In 2008, Seguín moved to Athletic Bilbao and was initially assigned to the farm team in Tercera División. He was promoted to the B-team for the 2009–10 season, but featured rarely.

On 25 August 2010, Seguín signed for SD Lemona also in the third division.[2] On 19 June 2012, after the club's relegation, he moved to fellow league team RCD Espanyol B.[3]

On 8 August 2013, Seguín moved to Real Unión still in the third tier, after terminating his contract with the Pericos.[4] He moved to SD Amorebieta in the same category on 10 July 2015,[5] being a regular starter and captain as his club achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División in the 2020–21 campaign.[6]

Seguín made his professional debut at the age of 32 on 23 August 2021, replacing Josu Ozkoidi late into a 0–2 away loss against CD Mirandés.[7] Amorebieta was relegated at the end of the season, but Seguín agreed to extend his contract for a further year,[8] and passed the milestone of 200 appearances for the club in September 2022.

Personal life

Seguín's younger brother Aitor is also a footballer and a winger. He too played for Bilbao Athletic.[1][9]
