Club career



Osasuna


López was born in Logroño, La Rioja. A product of CA Osasuna's youth ranks, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 17 October 2004 in a 3–2 home win against Albacete Balompié, and finished his first season with 13 games and one goal,[1] scored in his first appearance.[2]

The following campaign, López was an undisputed starter as the Navarrese side achieved a first-ever qualification for the UEFA Champions League. The player contributed six goals to this feat,[1] including a crucial one in the last matchday, a 2–1 home victory over Valencia CF.[3]

As Osasuna were relegated to the UEFA Cup, López appeared 11 in matches in the team's semi-finals run, netting in 3–0 away defeats of Parma FC (twice)[4] and Bayer 04 Leverkusen.[5]


Athletic Bilbao


In summer 2007, López signed with neighbours Athletic Bilbao for around €6 million.[6][7] His competitive debut was on 28 August in a 0–0 home draw against his former team, and he was first-choice in his first two years, totalling 60 league matches; in his second he helped the Basques to narrowly avoid relegation, scoring at Recreativo de Huelva (1–1),[8] and at home against Sporting de Gijón (3–0)[9] and Racing de Santander (2–1, through a penalty).[10]

López netted six goals from 28 appearances in 2010–11 to match the highest total in his career, but he became a fringe player for the Lions after the arrival of Argentine Marcelo Bielsa as club manager.[11] On 31 August 2012, his contract with Athletic was rescinded by mutual consent.[12]


Brighton & Hove Albion


Immediately after being released, López transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship, signing a one-year contract.[13] During his spell at the Falmer Stadium, he was nicknamed 'Spanish Dave'.[14]


Later years


After leaving England at the age of 32, López spent three full seasons in his country's Segunda División, first with CD Lugo[15] and then SD Huesca.[16] Subsequently, he took his game to the lower leagues.[17]
