Club career
Born in Iurreta, Biscay, Basque Country, Areitio played youth football for Iurretako FT and Athletic Bilbao. He made his debut as a senior for the latter's farm team in 2014, in Tercera División.
On 8 June 2015, Areitio was released by Athletic, and subsequently joined SCD Durango also in the fourth division. On 13 July of the following year he moved to fellow league team CD Vitoria, SD Eibar's reserves.
On 17 September 2016, Areitio was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against Sevilla FC, as starter Asier Riesgo was suspended. He made his professional debut just hours later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Bebé in a 1–1 draw at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium after Yoel was sent off.
Personal life
Areitio comes from a family of goalkeepers: his grandfather's brother Carmelo Cedrún was a Spanish international, while his uncle Andoni Cedrún appeared in more than 300 league matches for Real Zaragoza. Both also represented Athletic as a youth.
