Career
Born in Errenteria, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Carrera joined Real Sociedad's youth sides in 2022, from CD Vasconia de Donostia.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team on 8 January 2023, starting and scored the opener in a 4–2 Segunda Federación home loss to CD Izarra.[2]
In July 2023, Carrera joined Touring KE, another club he represented as a youth, on loan.[3] Back to the Txuri-urdin in July 2024, he was initially assigned back at the C's, and first appeared with the reserves on 2 November, in a 1–0 Primera Federación home loss to CD Arenteiro.
Carrera featured in both legs of the promotion play-off finals against Gimnàstic de Tarragona, and scored Sanse's third in the 3–1 win at the Nou Estadi Costa Daurada in the first leg;[4] it was only his second goal with the side during the season, as the club achieved promotion to Segunda División.[5][6]
Carrera made his professional debut on 17 August 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute for Arkaitz Mariezkurrena late into a 1–0 home win over Real Zaragoza.[7] He scored his first professional goal twelve days later, netting the B's second in a 2–2 home draw against UD Almería,[8] and netted a brace in a 3–0 home win over FC Andorra on 11 October.
Carrera made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 30 November 2025, replacing Gonçalo Guedes late into a 3–2 home loss to Villarreal CF.[9][10]
