Football career

Bea was born in Amurrio, Álava. After starting out with modest clubs in his native Basque Country, and having a stint in the third division with Ciudad de Murcia, he had his first taste of professional football at Lorca Deportiva CF in the 2005–06 season, helping the club retain its second level status.

Subsequently, Bea joined Real Valladolid, scoring three goals in 35 games as the Castile and León team returned to La Liga in 2007 after a three-year absence, but being less used in the following years – only seven matches in the 2007–08 campaign. He made his debut in the main category on 28 October 2007, featuring 45 minutes in the 2–2 away draw against CA Osasuna.[1]

Bea was released in July 2009, moving to division two with Real Murcia, being relegated in his first and only season and being subsequently released. Aged 32 he had his first experience abroad, signing a 1+1 contract with Austrian side FC Wacker Innsbruck.[2] He made his Bundesliga debut on 18 July 2010, playing the entire 4–0 home win over SK Rapid Wien.
