Club career

Arana played in Spain for Jolaseta and Club de Campo until 2014, when he moved to Belgium to play for Braxgata. In the 2015–16 season he helped them claim their first-ever play-off place in the Men's Belgian Hockey League.[2] After two seasons in Belgium he returned to Spain to play for Tenis. In 2017 he left Spain again, this time he went to the Netherlands to play for Pinoké.[3] After one season with Pinoké he returned to Jolaseta.[4] In June 2019, it was announced he would join Herakles in Belgium for the 2019–20 season.[5] He returned to Jolaseta after a half season to improve his chances for selection in the Spain squad.[6]

International career

Arana made his debut for the senior national team in December 2016 in a test match against Ireland. He represented Spain at the 2018 World Cup.[7][8] At the 2019 EuroHockey Championship, he won his first medal with the national team as they finished second.[9]

gollark: It's probably not very fast if being run on CPU.
gollark: The ones you're using might use something other than VQGAN but it's basically the same thing.
gollark: Instead of using something something backpropagation to optimise the match between the text and VQGAN output image a neural network is used to approximate that.
gollark: There's "feedforward CLIP VQGAN" or something which is *much* faster but worse.
gollark: Anyway, excluding the tensor cores and VRAM, standard colab's T4s are worse than a 1080 Ti. The K80 is worse than most recent things and you often get those now.
