He made his La Liga debut on 3 October 2004, playing 25 minutes in a 1–3 away loss against Getafe CF.

Whilst with the latter side, in the 2008–09 campaign, he reunited with former Athletic youth teammate Mikel Dañobeitia. Azkorra continued competing in the second and third levels during the following years, representing CD Lugo, Deportivo Alavés, CD Guadalajara, Hércules CF, Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Real Murcia and Sestao River Club.
