Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Saborit was signed by Athletic Bilbao at the age of 16 from local RCD Espanyol,[1] meeting the club's recruitment criteria as his mother hailed from the Basque Country.[2] He spent three full seasons with the reserves in Segunda División B, playing 36 games in his last (playoffs included).

Saborit made his La Liga debut with the Lions on 25 August 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 win against CA Osasuna at the Anoeta Stadium.[3] On 9 July 2014, after being sparingly used in his debut campaign, he was loaned to RCD Mallorca in Segunda División.[4]
