editBorn in Durango, Biscay, Basque Country, Egiluz joined Athletic Bilbao's Lezama Facilities in 2018, from hometown side SCD Durango.[1] He made his senior debut with the farm team CD Basconia on 5 September 2021, starting in a 0–0 Tercera División RFEF away draw against Barakaldo CF.
Egiluz was promoted to the reserves on 10 July 2022,[2] and made his first appearance for the side on 28 August by coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 Primera Federación home loss against CF La Nucía. In the summer of 2023, he was one of the players chosen to do the preseason with the senior squad.[3]
Egiluz made his first tema debut for the Lions on 1 November 2023, starting in a 2–1 away win over UE Rubí, for the season's Copa del Rey.[4][5] He remained a starter for the B's during the campaign, as they achieved promotion from Segunda Federación.
On 29 August 2024, Egiluz was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for one year, becoming the third Athletic player to do so in the transfer window.[6] He made his professional debut on 15 September, replacing Tachi at half-time in a 2–0 home win over Albacete Balompié.[7]
