Juan Augusto Huerta (born 22 July 1980 in Isidro Casanova) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Almirante Brown.
Huerta has played for Nueva Chicago and Estudiantes de La Plata in the Primera División de Argentina.[1]
Huerta, nicknamed "the lion", was a significant part of the 2006 championship team, but two major injuries kept him outside the pitch for almost two years. He re-appeared in 2008.
In 2009 he was part of the Estudiantes squad that won the Copa Libertadores 2009 championship, although his only contribution was a brief substitute appearance in their 3-0 win over Libertad in the group stage. After Estudiantes reinforced the midfield, Huerta asked for a transfer, and found a place in Chilean first division side San Luis Quillota.[2]
