Club career

An Athletic Bilbao youth graduate, Dañobeitia served some loans (including at its farm team, CD Basconia), before being promoted to the main squad for the 2005–06 season. He made his La Liga debut on 26 October 2005, playing 70 minutes in a 2–3 away loss against CA Osasuna.

After a relatively successful first year, Dañobeitia only appeared in four matches in his second, being released and joining UD Salamanca in the second division. In the 2008–09 campaign, he reunited with former Athletic youth teammate Gorka Azkorra.

In July 2009, Dañobeitia moved to another club in that level, joining Córdoba CF. After only six games in his second season, he left the Andalusians and signed for UD Logroñés in division three.
