Club career

Born in Elizondo, Navarre, Karrikaburu joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2014, aged 12. He made his senior debut with the C-team at the age of just 17 on 14 September 2019, starting and scoring his team's only in a 2–1 Tercera División away loss against Pasaia KE.[1]

Karrikaburu scored ten goals for the C's during his first senior season, and netted an impressive rate of 22 goals in only 20 matches for the side in his second; highlights included two hat-tricks against CD Aurrerá Ondarroa (4–1 home win) and SD Balmaseda FC (4–2 away win) and four goals in a 6–1 thrashing of SD Deusto. On his debut for the reserves on 28 March 2021, he also scored the side's third in a 4–1 win over Deportivo Alavés B in the Segunda División B.

On 3 May 2021, Karrikaburu renewed his contract until 2026.[2] He made an instant impact for the B-side after his debut, contributing with four goals in nine appearances as his side returned to the Segunda División after a 59-year absence; one of his goals was an extra time winner in a 2–1 defeat of Algeciras CF, which sealed Sanse's promotion.[3]

Karrikaburu made his professional debut on 14 August 2021, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 home win over CD Leganés.[4] He made his first team debut on 30 September, replacing fellow youth graduate Mikel Oyarzabal in a 1–1 home draw against AS Monaco FC, for the season's UEFA Europa League.[5]

On 15 January 2023, Karrikaburu was loaned to second division side CD Leganés for the remainder of the season.[6] On 1 September, he moved to Deportivo Alavés in the top tier also in a temporary deal.[7]
