Mikel Balenziaga Oruesagasti (born 29 February 1988 in Zumarraga, Gipuzkoa) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Real Valladolid as a left defender.

Club career

Balenziaga started his football grooming at Real Sociedad, playing some matches with its B team in the third division. However, in 200809, he switched to neighbours Athletic de Bilbao.

Initially thought of as a member of Bilbao Athletic, Balenziaga quickly beat competition from veterans Koikili and Javier Casas to become the undisputed first-choice left back for the vast majority of the season, making his first-team debut on 14 September 2008 at Málaga CF, a 00 draw. Another club graduate, Ander Iturraspe, also made his first top flight appearance in the match.[1]

In July 2009, Athletic bought Xabier Castillo from neighbours Real Sociedad, and Balenziaga, seeing his first-team chances for the upcoming season dim, accepted a loan move to CD Numancia, freshly relegated.
