Iker Benito

Iker Benito Sánchez (born 10 August 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CA Osasuna. Mainly a right winger, he can also play as a right-back.

Born in Miranda de Ebro, Burgos, Castile and León, Benito joined CA Osasuna's youth setup in 2018, after a period on trial at Athletic Bilbao, from CD Pamplona. On 13 May of the following year, he signed a two-year professional contract with the former club, with an option for a further two campaigns.

Benito was promoted to the reserves in May 2020, and made his senior debut on 25 October, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 Segunda División B away loss against CD Tudelano. He scored his first senior goal on 25 September 2021, netting the B's second in a 2–0 away win over AD San Juan in the Segunda División RFEF championship.

Benito made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 19 January 2022, replacing fellow youth graduate Kike Barja late into a 2–0 loss at RC Celta de Vigo. On 24 June, he renewed his contract until 2025.

On 1 July 2023, Benito was loaned to Segunda División side FC Andorra for the season. He returned to the Rojillos roughly one year later, but moved to CD Mirandés also in a temporary deal on 2 January 2025, after being rarely used.
