Club career

[edit]

Real Sociedad

[edit]

Born in Lezo, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Lobete joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2018, from Antiguoko. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 22 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Deportivo Alavés B.[2]

Lobete first appeared with the reserves on 7 September 2019, playing 34 minutes in a 2–0 home win over CD Guijuelo in the Segunda División B.[3] He scored his first senior goal late in the month, netting the B's fourth goal in a 5–0 away routing of Barakaldo CF.[4]

Lobete renewed his contract until 2023 on 4 January 2020.[5] He was a regular starter for the B-side during the 2020–21 campaign, scoring seven goals as the side returned to Segunda División after 59 years.

Lobete made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 15 August 2021; after replacing Portu in the 65th minute, he scored his team's first in a 4–2 away loss against FC Barcelona.[6]

Celta

[edit]

On 26 July 2022, Lobete signed a four-year contract with RC Celta de Vigo in the top tier.[7] Two days later, he was loaned to Eredivisie side RKC Waalwijk for a season.[8]

On 30 June 2023, Lobete returned to Spain and its second division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with FC Andorra.[9] On 2 August of the following year, after suffering relegation, he terminated his link with the Galicians.[10]

Málaga

[edit]

Hours after leaving Celta, Lobete signed a three-year deal with Málaga CF in division two.[11]
