Club career

edit

Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, Magdaleno was a Danok Bat CF youth graduate. He made his senior debuts with Zalla UC in 2010, in Tercera División.

In June 2011 Magdaleno moved to Athletic Bilbao, club he already represented as a youth, and was assigned to the farm team also in the fourth tier.[1] On 30 May of the following year he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2]

On 3 May 2015, during a 0–1 loss at CF Fuenlabrada, Magdaleno suffered a serious knee injury[3] which ruled him out of the promotion play-offs to Segunda División. He only returned to action in February 2016, appearing in a 1–2 Premier League International Cup loss against Villarreal CF.[4]

Magdaleno made his professional debut on 4 June 2016, coming on as a late substitute for Unai Bilbao in a 2–0 home win against CD Tenerife for the second level championship; his side, however, was already relegated. Three days later, he was released by the Lions.[5]

On 18 July 2016, Magdaleno signed for Sestao River in the third level.[6]
