Football career
Born in Orio, Gipuzkoa, Agirre was a product of local Real Sociedad's youth system, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 1995–96 season, in Segunda División B. On 25 May 1996 he appeared in his first and only game with the first team, playing the last 17 minutes of a 3–2 La Liga away win over Racing de Santander.[1]
In the 1998 summer Agirre joined CD Castellón, also in the third level. Four years later he signed for fellow league club CE L'Hospitalet; after appearing with the Catalans in the 2002–03 regular season he competed with Ciudad de Murcia in the play-offs, helping it to a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.
Agirre moved to CD Toledo, still in division three, for the 2003–04 campaign. Subsequently, he joined Real Unión also in the third tier, being first-choice in his first four seasons and still contributing with 16 matches in the fifth as the Basque returned to the second division after 44 years; he featured in only one official contest in 2009–10, however, a 1–2 loss at Celta de Vigo for the Copa del Rey,[2] and also saw his team be immediately relegated back.
In January 2010 Agirre joined CD Laudio, in Tercera División. In July 2012 he renewed his link with the side,[3] and was also promoted to the third level in 2013, appearing in 36 matches in the process.
