Club career

Born in Lezo, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Lobete joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2018, from Antiguoko. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 22 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Deportivo Alavés B.[2]

Lobete first appeared with the reserves on 7 September 2019, playing 34 minutes in a 2–0 home win over CD Guijuelo in the Segunda División B.[3] He scored his first senior goal late in the month, netting the B's fourth goal in a 5–0 away routing of Barakaldo CF.[4]

Lobete renewed his contract until 2023 on 4 January 2020.[5] He was a regular starter for the B-side during the 2020–21 campaign, scoring seven goals as the side returned to Segunda División after 59 years.

Lobete made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 15 August 2021; after replacing Portu in the 65th minute, he scored his team's first in a 2–4 away loss against FC Barcelona.[6]
