Club career

Born in Azpeitia, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Kaxe represented CD Lagun Onak as a youth, and made his senior debut with the B-team in the 2013–14 season, in the regional leagues. He subsequently started to feature for the first team in Tercera División, helping the side to achieve their best-ever campaign in 2015–16.

In July 2016, Kaxe joined SD Eibar and was assigned to the farm team also in the fourth division.[1] In the following year, after achieving promotion, he moved to fellow league team SD Beasain, scoring on a regular basis for the latter side.[2]

On 3 January 2018, Kaxe signed for Segunda División B side Rápido de Bouzas.[3] On 17 July, he moved abroad and agreed to a one-year deal with East Riffa Club in Bahrain.[4]

On 16 December 2018, Kaxe returned to his home country and signed for SD Ponferradina in the third level.[5] He became an immediate starter, contributing with three goals in 18 appearances during the season as his side returned to Segunda División after a three-year absence.

Kaxe made his professional debut on 18 August 2019, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Cádiz CF.[6]
