Club career
Azkorra emerged through local giants Athletic de Bilbao's youth system, but could only amass five first team appearances, all in 2004–05, after having scored prolifically with the Basque side's B and feeder clubs. He made his La Liga debut on 3 October 2004, playing 25 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against Getafe CF.
Released in the 2005 January transfer window, he resumed his career in the second division, with Recreativo de Huelva, CD Numancia, Albacete Balompié and UD Salamanca (in the latter, in 2008–09, he reunited with former Athletic youth teammate Mikel Dañobeitia).
