Club career

Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Albistegi finished his graduation with local SD Eibar, making his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2004–05 season, in Tercera División. After appearing with the main squad in Segunda División B he joined Real Sociedad in 2007, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the third division.

On 19 June 2010 Albistegi made his professional debut with the Txuri-urdin, playing the last 24 minutes in a 1–4 away loss against Elche CF for the Segunda División championship. Only two months later he returned to the third level, signing on loan with former club Eibar.

Albistegi rescinded his contract with the Basque in August 2011, joining UD Logroñés during that month. He continued to compete in division three in the following years, representing Real Unión and CD Toledo.
