Club Career

Born in Mendavia, Navarre, Otegui was a CA Osasuna youth graduate. In the 2015 summer, he was called up straight to the main squad by manager Enrique Martin for the pre-season, and signed a new five-year deal with the club on 8 August of that year.

On 9 September 2015, without even appearing for the reserves, Otegui made his professional debut by coming on as a second-half substitute for fellow youth graduate Jose Garcia in a 2–1 Copa del Rey away win against CD Mirandes. His Segunda Division debut came on 17 October, again from the bench in a 1–0 home success over Albacete Balompie.

Otegui contributed with 11 appearances during the campaign, as his side achieved promotion to La Liga. He made his debut in the category on 17 October 2016, replacing Miguel de las Cuevas in a 3–2 away win against SD Eibar.

Otegui scored his first senior goal on 7 May 2017, netting the third for the B-side in a 3–0 home win against SD Ponferradina for the Segunda Division B championship.
