There he developed an interest in football and began playing with the Mittweidaer Ballspiel-Club, the school's football team, which had been founded in 1896 by students.[4] In his years at Mittweida, he gained popularity as a football and rugby player. When he returned to Bilbao after completing his studies in 1905, he joined Athletic Club, with whom he played between 1905 and 1908.[2][4]
