Club career
Born in Urduliz, Biscay, Basque Country, Sabin graduated from Danok Bat CF's youth setup, after spells at Athletic Bilbao's Lezama and American team Javanon FC. In the 2011 summer he returned to the Lions, and made his debut as a senior with the farm team in Tercera División.
On 21 June 2013, Sabin was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B. On 29 June 2015, after scoring a career-best 18 goals during the season as the B-side returned to Segunda División after a 19-year absence, he was promoted to the main squad in La Liga.
Sabin made his official debut with the first team on 6 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Javier Eraso in a 0–0 away draw against Inter Baku PIK for the campaign's UEFA Europa League. After the departure of Guillermo, he was finally granted a place in the main squad, being assigned #25.
Sabin started in the 4–0 home routing of FC Barcelona for the Supercopa de España on 14 August 2015 as a left winger, providing the assist for Aritz Aduriz's second goal. He scored his first professional goal on 20 August, netting the first in a 2–3 Europa League playoff round loss at MŠK Žilina.
Sabin scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 23 September 2015, in a 1–2 home defeat against Real Madrid.
