Ustaritz Aldekoaotalora Astarloa (born 16 February 1983), known simply as Ustaritz, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.

Club career
Athletic Bilbao
Born in Abadiño, Biscay, Lezama youth graduate Ustaritz made his debut with Athletic Bilbao's first team during the 2005–06 season, taking part in 17 La Liga matches. However, he featured irregularly in the subsequent years, being mainly restricted to appearances in the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Cup; in the 2007–08 campaign he played a career-best 20 games, but the Basques could only finish in 11th position.
From 2008 to 2011, Ustaritz totalled 36 league games, scoring his only competitive goal for the club on 29 November 2009 in a 4–1 away win against UD Almería. In mid-August 2011, he was loaned to fellow top-division Real Betis in a season-long move, after manager Joaquín Caparrós accused him of unprofessional behaviours such as feigning injury.
Ustaritz's contract with Athletic was terminated by mutual consent on 31 August 2012.
Dinamo Tbilisi
In February 2013, the 30-year-old Ustaritz moved abroad for the first time, signing with FC Dinamo Tbilisi in Georgia and sharing teams with several compatriots. He played six Premier League games until the end of the season as his team won the national championship, scoring in a 6–1 victory over FC Zestaponi in the last fixture on 18 May.

Why this record matters
The phrase “spanish footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q442559. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2013, 2005 and 2007.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
