Club career

Born in Portugalete, Biscay, Morán joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system in 2004, aged 13. On 28 November 2012 he made his debut with the first team, starting in a 2–0 away win against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona F.C. for the season's UEFA Europa League; on 14 April of the following year he played his first game in La Liga, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Iker Muniain in a 0–3 home loss to Real Madrid.

In August 2013 Morán was promoted to Athletic's first team, signing a contract extension until 2016 and was handed the number 5 shirt. On 29 January 2015, after appearing rarely during the campaign, he was loaned to Segunda División's CD Leganés until June.

On 23 July 2015, Morán moved to Real Zaragoza in a one-year loan deal.
