Biography

Xabier 'Xabi' Prieto Argarate (born 29 August 1983) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Sociedad mainly as a right midfielder.
A player of good dribbling skills, he is also a penalty kick specialist.

Club career

Born in San Sebastián, Prieto made his La Liga debut with hometown's Real Sociedad on 26 October 2003 in a 1–0 home win over Navarrese neighbours CA Osasuna, going on to collect a further eight substitute appearances – seven of them late in the game – during that season. However, on 23 May of the following year, as the league's outcome was already decided, he profitted from his second start to score twice against Real Madrid in a 4–1 away success, one of the goals coming from the penalty spot.

Subsequently, Prieto was definitely promoted to the first squad and, in 2005–06, participated in all 38 games and netted nine times, six of them being penalties. In the following campaign he was also everpresent, but the Basques dropped down to the second division.

Prieto played in 35 matches in 2009–10, totalling exactly 3,000 minutes and contributing with seven goals as Real Sociedad returned to the top level after three years. In the first game of the following season, at home against Villarreal CF, he scored the game's only goal, after a backheel pass from newly signed Joseba Llorente.

On 6 January 2013, Prieto netted the first hat-trick of his professional career, but in a 3–4 loss at Real Madrid: he scored once through a penalty and twice after one-on-one situations against Iker Casillas. He added a brace on 22 February 2015 in another seven-goal thriller, but now in a 4–3 home win over Sevilla FC.
