Born in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Gabilondo finished his youth career with local Real Sociedad. After appearing in one Segunda División B game in 2005–06 with the B side, while still a junior (a 1–1 home draw against Zalla UC on 26 February 2006 where he featured as a right-back),[1] he went on to spend three full seasons with them in that tier.[2]
From 2009 to 2011, Gabilondo continued to play in the third division, with CA Osasuna B.[3][4]

Gabilondo joined English Football League Two club Swindon Town on trial in August 2011,[5] signing a one-year contract on the 19th.[6] He made his debut for his new team on 21 August, in a 1–2 home defeat to Oxford United.[7]
Swindon promoted to Football League One at the end of the season, but Gabilondo took part in less than one quarter of the league matches. He was released in May 2012.[8]
