“For me to continue with Athletic, the club of my life, is everything, the club where I grew up from a very young age. Member since almost always, since I remember. To be able to celebrate a decade of playing and defending Athletic shirt is a source of happiness and pride for me and everyone who loves me”.
Iñigo Lekue could not hide his satisfaction with the renewal agreement reached. In statements made on the official website of the Ibaigane entity, the Bilbao footballer acknowledged that “throughout my career at the club I have had ups and downs”.
The winger today affected these times “where I started to play a lot, having a lot of participation. Then, due to injuries and some events, I did not enjoy the regularity that everyone wanted and I believe that in last two years I participated a lot, I helped the team a lot and that’s what I want to continue doing” .
A dream come true
This renewal guarantees that Lekue can celebrate a decade as an Athletic player. “This is a dream I never knew could come true. Me being from here, being from Bilbao… There will be a lot of people who understand me and it’s so hard to describe that I can’t put it into words. Ten years defending the Athletic shirt anyone can imagine, but not describe.
The man from Bilbao clarified that “I will try to continue giving my best, as I always do, in training, every day, in the locker room, on the pitch… You know that I will give everything for the shield this and in this shirt always”.
