Roberto Olabe del Arco


Roberto Olabe del Arco is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Extremadura UD on loan from SD Eibar as a left winger.

Club career

Born in Salamanca, Castile and León, Olabe represented Real Sociedad as a youth. After making his debut as a senior with the farm team in the 2014–15 season in Tercera División, he was promoted to the reserves in June 2015.
On 4 January 2016, Olabe terminated his contract with Sanse and immediately joined Villarreal CF's C-side in the fourth division. On 31 July, he moved to another reserve team, Atlético Madrid B in the same league.
Olabe made his competitive debut with Atlético Madrid on 30 November 2016, coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Ángel Correa in a 6–0 away rout of CD Guijuelo in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey. At the end of the campaign, he also helped the second team promote to Segunda División B.
On 31 August 2018, Olabe was loaned to Extremadura UD of Segunda División for one year. He was a regular starter during his spell, as they easily avoided relegation.
On 7 July 2019, Olabe signed a four-year deal with La Liga's SD Eibar, but was loaned to second level club Albacete Balompié on 4 August. The following 22 January his loan was cut short, and he immediately moved back to Extremadura also in a temporary deal.

Olabe's father, also named Roberto, was also a footballer. A goalkeeper, he notably represented UD Salamanca before moving to coaching duties.
