Club career
Born in Rivera, Mora started his professional career with modest Juventud de Las Piedras. In 2008, aged 20, he signed for top division outfit Defensor Sporting.
After a relatively successful first season, helping La Farola finish third in the Apertura and win the Clausura, Mora found himself on the bench more often than not in the following, and subsequently left for fellow league outfit C.A. Cerro. At his new team he scored nine goals in 2009–10, and a further five in the campaign's Copa Libertadores, four of them in the qualifying rounds against teams in his country.
Mora was purchased back for the 2010–11 season, and finished the Apertura tournament with 11 goals – second-best in the competition behind Club Nacional de Football's Santiago García – as his team ranked in top position. In January 2011 he signed for S.L. Benfica on a free transfer, effective as of July.
Mora was officially presented by the Portuguese club on 1 July, alongside Nolito.[1] He played his first official game on 14 October in a Portuguese Cup game against Portimonense SC, replacing Rodrigo in the 78th minute of a 2–0 away win.[2]
In January 2012, after failing to establish at Benfica, Mora joined C.A. Peñarol on a six-month loan.[3] In August, in the same predicament, he signed for Club Atlético River Plate, with the option of making the move permanent after one year.,[4] In July 2013, Mora signed with River Plate, in exchange for Funes Mori.
