Club career

In 2018 she signed for [SD SD Eibar (women)|Eibar (women)|Eibar], moving between the Gipuzkoan clubs along with three Real teammates. A year later – along with goalkeeper Cris Cornejo, another of the group who had switched to Eibar – Gaste moved on to Alavés, of the same level, and was a regular member of the team as they won the Segunda División Pro title and gained promotion to the Primera in the 2020–21 season. In 2022 she joined Granada, and a year later was again part of a promotion-winning squad, this time via the playoffs.
She has been selected for the unofficial Basque Country women's national football team which plays only occasionally.
