Juan José Bezares Alarcón (born 17 May 1981) is a Spanish footballer who plays for UD San Pedro as a defensive midfielder.

Football career

Born in La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Bezares started his career with Real Balompédica Linense, playing his first four seasons as a senior in Segunda División B, where he also represented Sevilla FC's reserves. On 1 February 2004, with the latter, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, fracturing his nose in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.[1]

In the 2004 summer Bezares joined Cádiz CF in Segunda División, being promoted in his first season but suffering relegation in his second. In the 2007–08 campaign he again dropped down a level, but contributed with 15 games to the 2009 promotion (only one start however, 232 minutes of action).

In January 2009 Bezares moved abroad, being loaned to Superleague Greece club OFI Crete.[2] In August he moved to Unión Estepona CF in the same predicament[3] but, in January 2010, he rescinded his contract and joined AEP Paphos F.C. in the Cypriot First Division;[4] one year later he changed teams and countries again, signing with FC Aktobe in Kazakhstan.[5]

In January 2012 Bezares returned to his country, joining third division's CF Villanovense.[6] On 21 July, after undergoing a successful trial with the club,[7] he signed with fellow league side Gimnàstic de Tarragona,[8] leaving on 29 June of the following year after an agreement with the club for the extension of his contract was not reached.[9]
