Gorka Elustondo Urkola (born 18 March 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender or a defensive midfielder for Rayo Vallecano.
He spent most of his career with Real Sociedad after making his debut in 2006, going on to appear in 167 competitive matches over six La Liga seasons (nine in total, eight goals).
Elustondo was born in Beasain, Gipuzkoa. A product of Real Sociedad's prolific youth ranks, he made his La Liga debut on 20 December 2006 in a 0–0 away draw against RC Celta de Vigo. He amassed a further five first-team appearances in his first professional season, as the Basque club met top division relegation for the first time in 40 years.
In late October 2008, with Real in the second division, in a home derby against Deportivo Alavés, Elustondo suffered a serious knee injury (which later relapsed), being rendered unavailable for the remainder of the campaign. He contributed with 30 matches – 26 starts – and one goal in 2009–10, helping the Txuriurdin return to the Spanish top flight after three years, as champions.
