If Barakaldo’s intention was to continue counting on the main players who achieved promotion this past season, there was no doubt that one of his main priorities was to retain Julen Huidobro. The 28-year-old midfielder has been the cog that has made all the machinery work. The compass that has guided the manufacturers to become champion in a historic way, remaining undefeated throughout the course. In fact, the man from Uribarri can boast of being the player with the most minutes in the squad. An irreplaceable piece that has participated in all the games, even with the assured lead.
Julen Huidobro arrived at the Left Bank team convinced of his new project, despite having offers from higher-class teams. It was normal for him to have them because the previous season he had been sublime with Leioa, scoring thirteen goals despite being a midfielder. Therefore, expectations were high. He was called to be an important asset. Well, the man from Bilbao has once again shown that the Third Federation was too small for him. He has played all thirty league games, starting in 26 of them, accumulating a total of 2,326 minutes, more than any of his teammates. He has also contributed on the offensive side, scoring five goals.
The club announced its renewal this afternoon, thus reaffirming the continuity character it wishes to adopt when building its squad in this new category. Barakaldo has highlighted that “it has been one of the fundamental pillars on which the factory midfield has been based this season. Undoubtedly one of the key pieces together with the rest of the squad, architects of the promotion to the 2nd RFEF ». He is the sixth player officially confirmed for next season after Aimar Sagastibeltza, Markel Artetxe, Imanol Torre, Ekaitz Molina and Endika Buján. There are still nine other footballers from last year of whom there is no news, although it is expected that the renewals of several of them will be announced in the coming days.
