Career

Ayesa was born in Ansoáin, Navarre, and joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2013, aged 12. He made his senior debut with the C-team on 2 March 2019, starting in a 7–1 Tercera División home routing of SD Deusto.

Ayesa first appeared with the reserves on 12 January 2020, starting in a 2–0 away win against Burgos CF in the Segunda División B championship.[1] On 4 February 2021, he renewed his contract with the Txuri-urdin until 2025,[2] and was sparingly used during the campaign as his side returned to Segunda División after 59 years.

Ayesa made his professional debut on 29 August 2021, starting in a 0–0 home draw against CF Fuenlabrada.[3] On 9 July of the following year, he was loaned to Primera Federación side CD Numancia for the season.[4]

On 3 July 2024, Ayesa signed as a free agent with AD Alcorcón.[5] On 24 June 2026, after two seasons as a starter, he moved to fellow third division side Gimnàstic de Tarragona on a two-year contract.[6]
