Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Gorrotxategi joined Real Sociedad's youth sides in 2017, from hometown side SD Eibar. He made his senior debut with the former's C-team on 18 October 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Alberto Dadie in a 2–1 Tercera División away loss to Gernika Club.[1]

Gorrotxategi became a regular starter for the C's during the 2021–22 season, and scored his first senior goal on 27 November 2021 by netting the second in a 2–2 home draw against Burgos CF Promesas.[2] He was promoted to the reserves in Primera Federación the following July,[3] and renewed his contract until 2027 on 21 July 2023.[4]

On 9 August 2024, Gorrotxategi was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for the 2024–25 campaign.[5] He made his professional debut seven days later, starting in a 1–0 home win over Córdoba CF.[6]
