Club career

Born in Madrid, Baigorri played lower league football until the age of 23, representing UD San Sebastián de los Reyes, Racing de Santander B, CD Leganés and Alicante CF. In summer 2006 he moved to CD Castellón, who had already acquired him the previous year.[1][2]

Baigorri played his first game as a professional on 2 September 2006, featuring the second half of a 4–2 away loss against UD Vecindario in the Segunda División.[3] He finished his first year with 29 matches, helping the Valencian Community team to the 14th position.[4]

Baigorri scored his only goal in the second tier on 22 September 2007, Castellón's second in the 2–2 away draw with Sevilla Atlético.[5] He left the club in June 2010 after it suffered relegation, and returned to the Segunda División B by joining AD Ceuta.[6]

In January 2012, Baigorri moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing with Sarpsborg 08 FF from the Norwegian 1. divisjon. He joined another side in the country two years later, 2. divisjon's Moss FK.[7]
