Aythami Artiles Oliva (born 2 April 1986 in Arguineguín, Canary Islands), known simply as Aythami, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as a central defender.

Football career

After successfully representing hometown side of UD Las Palmas, Aythami was bought in July 2007 by Deportivo de La Coruña for 600.000, signing a five-year contract. He only appeared once for the Galicians in his first year, a 0–2 home loss against Recreativo de Huelva and, in January 2008, was loaned to Xerez CD in the second division.

The loan was renewed for the entire the 2008–09 season, and Aythami was an instrumental defensive element for the Andalusians, which achieved a first-ever La Liga promotion. A new loan deal was arranged for the following campaign and he continued to be an automatic first-choice, also scoring two league goals but suffering an immediate relegation back.
