Tottenham HotspurWe are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Maite Oroz from Real Madrid, subject to international clearance and work visa.
The 26-year-old Spain international has agreed a deal with the Club that will run until 2028 and will wear the number 10 shirt.
Born in Huarte, Spain, Maite began her senior career at Osasuna, having joined the club at the age of 12, and featured for the first team in the Segunda Division during the 2013/14 campaign before joining Athletic Bilbao in 2014.
Following a season with their B-team, she made her senior debut for Athletic Bilbao in September, 2015, and made 116 appearance across five seasons at the club before making the switch to Real Madrid for their inaugural season under that name for the 2020/21 campaign.
Last term, Maite recorded one of her best goalscoring campaigns to date, netting five goals in 24 Liga F appearances, playing alongside one of our latest signings Hayley Raso, as the club finished second in the table and featured regularly for them in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
In her time at Madrid, she was recently appointed as co-captain and made 146 appearances for Las Blancas, the second-highest in the team’s history.
On the international stage, Maite has 15 caps for Spain so far, scoring four goals, and was part of the side that won the UEFA Women’s Nations League this year.
