Early career

Born in Guatemala City to an English mother and a Uruguayan father, Aramburu started playing for Comunicaciones FC youth ranks in Guatemala.[3] He joined Defensor Sporting in Uruguay in 2015, where he signed his first 3 year professional contract. At age 19, he moved to Argentina to represent Huracán. In 2019, he played 1 season in his mother's home country, England, for Barnsley.[4][5]

TOP Oss

[edit]

In early 2020, he went on trial with Dutch club Den Bosch where he would have signed if not for the COVID-19 pandemic affecting all professional football.[6][5] He then moved to TOP Oss in the summer of 2020,[1][5] and made his debut for the club as a starter on 5 September in a 3–0 away loss to Roda JC Kerkrade.[7]

Wuppertaler SV

[edit]

On 1 February 2021, Aramburu signed with Regionalliga club Wuppertaler SV after a successful trial.[8] He made his debut on 24 February in a 1–0 win over Alemannia Aachen, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.[9] On 6 March, he scored his first senior goal in a 2–0 win over Schalke 04 II, a game in which he also provided an assist.[10]

Schalke 04 II

[edit]

On 14 June 2021, it was announced that Aramburu had signed with Schalke 04, joining their reserve team.[11]

Phönix Lübeck

[edit]

Aramburu joined Regionalliga Nord club Phönix Lübeck on 3 February 2023, after six months as a free agent.[12] Two days later he made his debut for the club, replacing Björn Lambach in the 69th minute of a 2–1 league loss to FC Teutonia Ottensen.[13] He suffered an ankle injury during practice on 16 March, sidelining him for several months.[14] He made his comeback on 10 May, scoring the final goal of a 6–1 victory against BSV Schwarz-Weiß Rehden.[15]
