Club career
editAthletic Bilbao
editBorn in Bilbao, Biscay, Bóveda was a product of Athletic Bilbao's famed youth academy at Lezama. He made his debut as a senior with the farm team in the 2006–07 season, in the Tercera División, and was promoted to the reserves who competed in the Segunda División B in summer 2008.
Bóveda made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 26 April 2009 in a 2–1 home win against Racing de Santander, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for David López.[3] He spent the vast majority of his spell registered with the B side, however.
Eibar
editOn 1 July 2011, Bóveda signed for neighbouring SD Eibar also in the third tier.[4] He was an undisputed first-choice in the 2012–13 campaign, as the Armeros returned to Segunda División after a four-year absence.[5]
Bóveda scored his first professional goal on 13 April 2014, but in a 1–2 home loss to CD Tenerife.[6] He appeared in 18 matches during the season, achieving promotion to the top flight (the club's first ever).[7]
Bóveda scored his first goal in the Spanish top division on 25 October 2014, closing the 1–1 home draw against Granada CF.[8]
Return to Athletic
editBóveda returned to Athletic on 1 July 2015, after refusing to renew his contract.[9] The following month, he featured in both legs of the Supercopa de España in which his team defeated FC Barcelona.[10][11] He started infrequently in his first and second seasons but was a useful squad member, providing cover both at full-back and in the centre of the defence.[12]
On 17 January 2018, still only appearing occasionally and with his contract running out at the end of the campaign, it was announced that Bóveda would not receive an extension.[13]
Deportivo
editOn 22 January 2018, Bóveda signed for fellow top-tier club Deportivo de La Coruña, agreeing a deal with the Galicians until summer 2020 and leaving his native Basque Country for the first time in his career.[14] He suffered two relegations in only three years.[15]
International career
editBóveda never earned any caps for Spain at any level. He did feature for the unofficial Basque Country regional team.[16]
