Alejandro Zamora Barbero (born 22 April 1984) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Mérida AD as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Madrid, played youth football with local Real Madrid, but only represented the C-team as a senior, also being loaned to Real Oviedo during his spell. In 2006 he signed with Real Betis, being all but associated with the reserves for three full seasons;[1] on 2 December 2007, he played his first and only La Liga game with the main squad, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Madrid which was also manager Héctor Cúper's last match on the bench.[2][3]

In June 2009, Zamora signed for UD Salamanca on a two-year contract.[4] Two years later, after suffering relegation, he joined fellow league side Recreativo de Huelva,[5] making his competitive debut on 7 September by scoring an own goal in a 0–2 home defeat to Elche CF for the campaign's Copa del Rey;[6] he collected only 875 minutes in the league, also being sent off against AD Alcorcón for a late tackle on Quini in the 56th minute of an eventual 1–2 loss.[7]

Afterwards, Zamora moved to the lower leagues, representing CD Castellón (Tercera División),[8] CP Cacereño[9]– after only a few months, he hinted of leaving[10]– and CD Guadalajara.[11] On 30 July 2015, he moved to Mérida AD still in division three,[12] stating upon his arrival at the latter he "had come to the club to bring it to where it deserves".[13] His official debut took place on 22 August, in a 1–0 victory at former team Betis B.[14]
