Club career edit

Born in Zumaia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, joined Athletic Bilbao's Lezama academy in 2015, from Antiguoko.[1] On 13 June 2016, he was promoted to the farm team, but moved straight to the reserves.[2]

Nolaskoain made his senior debut on 21 August 2016, coming on as a first-half substitute for Tarsi and scoring his team's second in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against UD Socuéllamos.[3] During the 2018 pre-season, he was converted to a central defender by new first-team manager Eduardo Berizzo.[4]

Nolaskoain made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 20 August 2018, starting and scoring the opener in a 2–1 home win against CD Leganés.[5] The following 9 August, after featuring sparingly with the main squad, he was loaned to Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña for one year.[6]

In July 2020, he suffered a serious ankle injury which kept him out for nearly 18 months.[7] On 21 January 2022, he was loaned to second division side SD Amorebieta for the remainder of the campaign.[8]

On 26 August 2022, Nolaskoain moved to SD Eibar in the second division, on loan for one year;[9] he featured regularly as they reached the promotion play-offs, losing out to local rivals Deportivo Alavés. Back to the Lions in July 2023, he only made two late substitute appearances in the league and two starts against lower-division opponents in the Copa del Rey, before returning to Eibar on a permanent three-and-a-half-year contact on 31 January 2024; Athletic retained a buy-back option and a bonus for Eibar gaining promotion to La Liga.[10][11]
