Early career

Born in Guatemala City to an English mother and a Uruguayan father, Aramburu joined Defensor Sporting in Uruguay in 2015, where he signed his first 3 year professional contract. At age 19, he moved to Argentina to represent Huracán. In 2019, he played 1 season in his mother's home country, England, for Barnsley. [3][4]

TOP Oss

In early 2020, he went on trial with Dutch club Den Bosch where he would have signed if not for the COVID-19 pandemic affecting all professional football.[5][4] He then moved to TOP Oss in the summer of 2020,[1][4] and made his debut for the club as a starter on 5 September in a 3–0 away loss to Roda JC Kerkrade.[6]

Wuppertaler SV

On 1 February 2021, Aramburu signed with Regionalliga club Wuppertaler SV after a successful trial.[7] He made his debut on 24 February in a 1–0 win over Alemannia Aachen, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.[8] On 6 March, he scored his first senior goal in a 2–0 win over Schalke 04 II, a game in which he also provided an assist.[9]

Schalke 04 II

On 14 June 2021, it was announced that Aramburu had signed with Schalke 04, joining their reserve team.[10]
