Joseba del Olmo García (born 20 June 1981) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Lagun Onak as a left winger.

Club career

Del Olmo was born in Barakaldo, Biscay. From 1999 to 2004, he played in the Spanish lower leagues (Tercera División or lower), subsequently representing Barakaldo CF and Sestao River Club (Segunda División B).

In 2007–08, del Olmo played with Segunda División club SD Eibar. At the end of the season, Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao paid the €300,000 buyout clause in his contract and, on 13 June 2008, he signed a one-year deal which included automatic renewal for another year if the player appeared in a minimum of 22 official games as well as a buyout clause of €20million;[1] he was officially presented four days later.[2]

After an uneventful campaign, del Olmo was released and returned to the second level, agreeing to a two-year deal with Hércules CF. Although he rarely started and did not find the net throughout the season, he did appear in 20 matches as the Alicante side returned to the top flight after 13 years.
