Yeray Alvarez has extended his contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2028. The defender, born in the Basque Country (Baracaldo), has been with the club since his youth development, having only a short loan spell in the 2013/14 season with CD Baskonia, in the Spanish fourth division.
Yeray won a Spanish Super Cup (2020) and a Spanish Cup (2023/24) while playing for Athletic Bilbao. The 31-year-old defender returned to the pitch ten months after being suspended by UEFA in June 2025, after testing positive for an illegal substance during an anti-doping control.
