Alberto Lora Ramos (born 25 March 1987 in Móstoles, Community of Madrid) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón. On the right side of the pitch, he can operate as a midfielder or defender.

Football career

A former Real Madrid trainee, Lora served as co-captain for the Juvenil side in 2005–06, alongside Javier Velayos, and played in 33 games as the club won the Champions Cup of the category.

The following season he moved to Sporting de Gijón. Mainly registered with its B side, he played once with the main squad during 2007–08, in a 0–1 home loss to Celta de Vigo, as the Asturias side eventually returned from the second level after 10 years.

In 2009–10, due to longtime starter Rafel Sastre's age (34 years), Lora was successfully reconverted into right back. He ended up as the undisputed first-choice in that position, playing nearly 2,800 minutes as Sporting avoided relegation, as 15th.
