Xabier "Xabi" Huarte Armendáriz (born 25 February 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Portuguese Primeira Liga club Tondela.

Career Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Huarte joined CA Osasuna's youth setup in 2014, aged 13. After finishing his formation, he made his senior debut with farm team CD Subiza on 25 October 2020, starting in a 1–1 Tercera División away draw against UCD Burladés.

Huarte started to feature with the reserves in February 2021, and scored his first senior goal late in the month, netting Subiza's second in a 3–3 away draw against CD River Ega. On 30 December 2022, after establishing himself as a regular starter for the B's, he renewed his contract until 2025.
