Club career

[edit]

Barcelona

[edit]

Born in Irun, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Oier arrived in FC Barcelona's youth academy at the age of 18, from local Real Unión.[1] He spent his first years with the reserves as backup to another youth product, Rubén.

Oier made his debut for the first team on 2 January 2008, in the 2–2 home draw against CD Alcoyano in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[2] More than one year after, on 17 May, he appeared for the first time in La Liga as Barça were already champions, in a 2–1 away loss to RCD Mallorca.[3]

For the 2009–10 campaign, after Albert Jorquera left for neighbours Girona FC, Oier was promoted to third choice. He still continued to appear regularly for the B's, however.

Granada

[edit]

On 11 July 2014, Oier signed a three-year deal with Granada CF for an undisclosed fee.[4] On 25 August of the following year, he was loaned to fellow top-division side Real Sociedad in a season-long deal.[5]

Levante

[edit]

On 29 January 2017, Oier was loaned to Levante UD for the rest of the campaign with the option to buy in event of promotion; he replaced Álex Remiro, whose own temporary switch from Athletic Bilbao had been curtailed.[6] Manager Juan Ramón López Muñiz began playing him in place of Raúl Fernández in the final matches,[7] including in the goalless draw at CD Tenerife on 20 May that saw the Granotas crowned Segunda División champions.[8]

Oier took the starting place from Fernández in the top flight, and signed a new deal in June 2018 to last until 2021, with a further year as an option.[9]

Espanyol

[edit]

Having only been used in cup games due to Paco López' preference for Aitor Fernández, Oier left for RCD Espanyol on 31 January 2020 for a €1.5 million fee, signing until June 2022 with the option of another season after that.[10] Due to Diego López' suspension, he debuted on 13 June as the 70th goalkeeper in the club's history in a 2–0 home win over Deportivo Alavés.[11]

Pafos

[edit]

On 17 August 2022, Oier moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed for Pafos FC in the Cypriot First Division.[12] He featured in only two games during his spell.[13]

Andorra

[edit]

Oier returned to Spain and its second tier on 29 August 2023, after agreeing to a two-year contract at FC Andorra.[14]

International career

[edit]

On 30 December 2016, Oier made his one appearance for the unofficial Basque Country team, playing the second half of a 3–1 win over Tunisia at the San Mamés Stadium.[15]
