Gorka Brit Gallego (born 19 April 1978) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
He amassed Segunda División totals of 177 games and 59 goals over the course of six seasons, in representation of Eibar, Salamanca, Numancia and Real Unión. In La Liga he appeared for Numancia and Osasuna, for a total of 48 matches.
Football career
Brit was born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa. Having grown through the ranks of Real Sociedad and having played as a senior with modest clubs, mostly in the Basque Country, he made his debuts in La Liga with CA Osasuna in the 2002–03 season; subsequently he served some loan stints in Segunda División and, after only 17 games with the Navarrese's main squad in two separate campaigns combined, he was released in the 2006 summer.
In 2007–08, Brit was an important member for CD Numancia in its championship-winning season after having joined the Soria side the previous year, contributing with 26 matches and nine goals. Highlights included braces in 2–1 wins against Xerez CD (home)[1] and UD Las Palmas (away).[2]
In late July 2009 Brit returned once again to the Basque region, joining Real Unión, freshly promoted to the second level. He experienced one of his best seasons as a professional by scoring 14 league goals, but the team was immediately relegated back.[3]
