Club career
editBorn in Río Colorado in the Río Negro Province of Argentina, Erburu began his career with local side Independiente, where his father Nelson served as the team's physiotherapist.[2] On 26 October 2014, he was included on the bench for Independiente for their Torneo Federal B fixture against Petrolero Argentino, despite only being fourteen.[2]
The following month, in another Torneo Federal B fixture against Germinal, Erburu made history when he came off the bench, becoming the youngest footballer to feature in an AFA fixture at the age of fourteen.[3] He would hold this record until April 2016, when it was beaten by thirteen-year-old Darío Roa.[4] In August 2015, he became the youngest goal-scorer in Argentine football - a record that still stands - when he scored in Independiente's 2–0 win against Maronese.[5]
The following month, Erburu joined Argentine Primera División side Talleres, with Independiente receiving $36,000 if he were to play ten games in the Primera División, as well as a 10% sell-on fee.[6][7] He later moved to Independiente of Avellaneda, and progressed through their academy before making his debut for the reserve team in April 2021.[8] The same month, he was registered for Independiente's Copa Sudamericana squad.[9]
For the 2022 season, Erburu moved to Torneo Federal A side Sol de Mayo. He scored his first goal for the club the following season; on 1 April 2023, he scored Sol de Mayo's only goal in a 2–1 Torneo Federal A loss against Sansinena.[10]
