Club career
Born in Bilbao, Biscay, Bustinza joined Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth system in 2002, aged ten. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2010–11 season, in Tercera División.
In May 2011, Bustinza was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B. He appeared regularly for them in the following campaigns, scoring a career-best five goals in 2012–13.
On 15 July 2014, Bustinza was promoted to the Basque's main squad in La Liga. He made his debut in the competition on 25 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against UD Almería.
Bustinza was handed his first start for the Lions on 2 May 2015, in a 0–0 draw against Atlético Madrid, being sent off in the 93rd minute for two bookable offenses. Late in the month, he played the full 90 minutes in the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona, a 1–3 loss.
On 22 July 2015, Bustinza was loaned to Segunda División club CD Leganés in a season-long deal. After achieving a top level promotion, he signed a permanent three-year contract with the club on 18 July of the following year, after rescinding with Athletic.
