Club Career

Athletic Bilbao

Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Angulo joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 1996, aged 12, after starting out at Danok Bat CF. He made his debut as a senior with the farm team in 2002, in Tercera Division.

Angulo made his first-team — and La Liga — debut on 23 March 2003, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 away loss against RC Celta de Vigo. In June, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda Division B.

On 30 December 2004, after appearing in only three league matches with the main squad, Angulo was loaned to Segunda Division's Gimnastic de Tarragona until the end of the season. After featuring regularly he returned to the Basques, and renewed his contract on 19 October 2005.

On 25 July 2006, Angulo moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining French Championnat National club AS Cannes in a season-long loan deal. Upon returning, he was again assigned to the B team.

Angulo cut ties with the Lions on 21 July 2008.

Spain

On 21 July 2008, Angulo moved to Ecija Balompie in the third tier along with Athletic teammate Aitor Ramos. In his second season at the Andalusians he contributed nine goals in only 19 league matches, being the team's top scorer; highlights included a hat-trick in a 6–2 home rout of Jerez Industrial CF on 10 January 2010.
