Borja Ekiza Imaz plays for Athletic Bilbao as a central defender.
The productive youth system of Athletic Bilbao was the place where he started when he was 14. He got the right to perform for the Basque club because of his Navarrese roots. Borja spent the first 2 years in the squad of the third team of Athletic – Baskonia.
Ekiza played for the reserves in the Segunda B division until a series of injuries occurred in the defence line of the main squad. He was quickly promoted to the starting eleven. His debut came in a draw against Málaga. He played the full 90 minutes of the game performing brilliantly thus overcoming such veterans as Aitor Ocio, Fernando Amorebieta and Ustaritz in the struggle for a place in the start having been booked only once throughout the whole season.
