He spent his entire club career from 1915 to 1934 with Real Unión in his hometown of Irún in the Basque Country, winning the Copa del Rey in 1924 and 1927 before playing in the club's four seasons in La Liga after its formation, followed by two in the Segunda División after relegation (they never returned to the top level).

Gamborena made his international debut for Spain on 9 October 1921 in a 2–0 home friendly win over Belgium in Bilbao's Estadio San Mamés. He played 20 internationals, including at the 1924 and 1928 Olympic tournaments, and his last match was a 13–0 win over Bulgaria on 21 May 1933,{{cite web|title=Gamborena|url=http://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=6505|website=EU-Football.info|access-date=28 June 2014}} Spain's record victory.

After his retirement, he had brief spells in management at six Spanish clubs between 1939 and 1950.
