Club career
[edit]Born in Urretxu, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Gabilondo was a Real Sociedad youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 25 August 2018, starting in a 2–0 Tercera División away win over SD San Pedro.[1]
Gabilondo scored his first senior goal on 28 April 2019, netting the C's first in a 2–2 home draw against CD Basconia.[2] He first appeared with the reserves on 9 November, starting in a 3–1 home success over Salamanca CF UDS in the Segunda División B.[3]
On 6 October 2020, Gabilondo moved to fellow third division side Arenas Club de Getxo on loan for one year.[4] Upon returning the following June, he was assigned back at the C-side.[5]
Gabilondo made his professional debut with the B-team on 24 September 2021, replacing Roberto López late into a 0–2 Segunda División home loss against SD Huesca.[6] He was definitely promoted to the B's ahead of the 2022–23 season, with the side now in Primera Federación.
On 26 June 2023, Gabilondo signed a two-year contract with Málaga CF, freshly relegated to the third level.[7] He helped the club achieve two promotions during his three-season spell, but was mainly a backup option in 2025–26.
On 3 July 2026, Gabilondo agreed to a two-year deal with Real Zaragoza also in division three.[8]
