Yeray Álvarez López (born 24 January 1995), simply known as Yeray, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Athletic Bilbao as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Barakaldo, Biscay, Basque Country, Álvarez joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2008, aged 13. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2013–14 campaign, in Tercera División.

On 26 May 2014, Álvarez was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1] He contributed with 36 appearances and one goal during the season, as the B-side returned to Segunda División after a 19-year absence.

Álvarez made his professional debut on 24 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jurgi Oteo in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC.[2] He was a regular starter during the campaign, as his side were immediately relegated back as dead last.

Álvarez was promoted to the main squad in the 2016 pre-season, and made his La Liga debut on 18 September of that year, replacing Eneko Bóveda in a 2–1 home win against Valencia CF.[3]
