Club career

[edit]

Born in Leitza, Navarre, Aimar made his debut as a senior with Tolosa CF in the 2005–06 season, in Tercera División. After a short stint at SD Beasain he joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona, initially being assigned to the farm team also in the fourth tier.

In the summer of 2008, Aimar was promoted to the Catalans' first team in the Segunda División. He played his first match as a professional on 22 November, featuring the last 11 minutes of a 1–1 away draw against Real Murcia.[1]

Aimar terminated his contract with Nàstic on 16 September 2009,[2] and signed with CD Teruel of the fourth division a day later.[3] He appeared in 36 games and scored once in his first season, which ended in promotion.[4]

On 28 June 2012, Aimar joined Segunda División B club SD Eibar.[5] He featured sparingly for the side, who were promoted to the professional leagues after a four-year absence, and subsequently moved to Real Unión also in division three,[6] where he was at one point part of one of the league's oldest squads.[7]

On 27 August 2018, Aimar signed for third-tier Gernika Club.[8] The 35-year-old agreed to a contract at SD Amorebieta in the same league and region the following July,[9] helping in their first-ever promotion to the second division at the end of the 2020–21 campaign.[10][11]
