Playing career
Erice was born in Pamplona, Navarre.[4] A CA Osasuna youth graduate, he appeared in a total of nine first-team games in his first two seasons,[4] the first coming on 1 April 2007 in a 0–0 La Liga home draw against Sevilla FC (90 minutes played).[5] He finished the following campaign on loan to Segunda División's Málaga CF,[6] contributing five matches to the Andalusia side's top-flight return.[4]
In 2008–09 Erice was loaned again, now to SD Huesca, newly promoted to the second division.[7] He was released in January 2009, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract with Segunda División B club Cádiz CF[8] although a loan was initially projected,[9] making ten appearances for another promotion.[4]
Erice was an undisputed starter throughout the 2009–10 season – 36 games, 2,696 minutes – but Cádiz were immediately relegated after finishing 19th.[10][11] He returned to the second tier with Real Oviedo in 2015, terminating his contract after four years at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere, two of them as team captain;[12] one month before, he faced a supporter in one of the most populous streets in Oviedo.[13]
On 2 August 2017, Erice signed a two-year deal with fellow second-division side Albacete Balompié.[14] The 32-year-old moved to the Major League Soccer with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on 22 January 2019,[15] parting by mutual consent one year later before the start of the new season[16] and immediately returning to his previous employers on a six-month deal.[17]
Erice subsequently represented Hércules CF in the third level[18] and UD Mutilvera in the Segunda Federación.[19]
Coaching career
On 9 November 2022, Erice retired and immediately became manager of his last club.[20] He avoided relegation in his only season, then took over fellow fourth-tier CD Manchego Ciudad Real on 30 June 2023.[21]
Erice replaced the sacked Carlos Cura at the helm of Primera Federación team CF Rayo Majadahonda on 23 December 2023.[22] He was himself dismissed the following March, with the side in last position of their group.[23]
On 28 June 2024, Erice was appointed at Club Recreativo Granada, recently relegated to division four.[24] On 5 February 2025, he was fired.[25]
On 13 June 2025, Erice became head coach of Arenas Club de Getxo in place of Ibai Gómez.[26]
