Born in Berango, Biscay, Basque Country, Madariaga joined Athletic Bilbao's youth academy at Lezama in 2012, aged ten. He left the club in 2016, and spent a season at Itzubaltzeta FT (Getxo) before moving to SD Eibar's youth setup in 2017.[1]
Promoted to the farm team CD Vitoria in August 2020,[2] Madariaga made his senior debut on 25 October of that year, starting in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Club San Ignacio. He only became a starter for the B's in the 2022–23 season, and scored his first senior goal on 10 September 2022, netting the equalizer in a 3–1 home win over SCD Durango.
On 31 May 2023, Madariaga renewed his contract with the Armeros until 2025.[3] He made his first team debut the following 21 January, coming on as a late substitute for Mario Soriano in a 3–2 Segunda División away win over SD Huesca.[4][1]
On 31 July 2024, Madariaga further extended his link with Eibar until 2026, being promoted to the main squad.[5] He scored his first professional goal on 14 December, netting his team's second in a 2–1 home win over Real Zaragoza.[6]
