Club Career
Aketxe was born in Bilbao, Biscay. Having emerged through Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth ranks (although he also played youth football with Basque neighbours Arenas Club de Getxo), he made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2009, coming on as a substitute for striker Fernando Llorente for the final ten minutes of a 3–2 home win against Villarreal CF; he spent the vast majority of his first two seasons at the club with the reserve team, in the third division.
For the 2010–11 campaign, Aketxe was loaned to another side in the region, Sestao River Club of the fourth level. In the summer of 2011, his contract with Athletic was not renewed and he signed for SD Eibar in division three.
