Football career
After starting his professional career with SD Eibar (with a loan to Barakaldo CF included), Ansotegui moved to Basque giants Real Sociedad.
He made his first division debut on January 22, 2006, in a 3–3 home draw against Athletic Bilbao, in a derby match; he finished his first two topflight seasons with 33 matches.
Ansotegui only missed two games in the 2009–10 season, only being booked six times in his 40 complete matches – and adding four goals – as Real Sociedad returned to division one after a three-year absence.
