Garazi Murua Astorkiza (born 24 January 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a defender for Athletic Club, where she is the captain.
Club career[edit]
Murua started her career in Bizkerre's academy.[3] In 2014 she spent one semester in the United States playing with the ETSU Buccaneers (East Tennessee State University) as part of a degree in economics she was undertaking at the University of the Basque Country.[4] Soon after returning to Bilbao, she made her Primera División debut for Athletic, and in her first full season – 2015–16 – the club finished as national champions.[5]
A back injury sustained before the start of the 2022–23 season caused her to miss most of the campaign.[6]
