Óscar Alexandre Whalley Guardado (born 29 March 1994) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon from an English father and a Mexican mother,[1] Whalley spent his first season as a senior with Real Zaragoza's reserves in Tercera División. On 31 May 2014, as first-choice Leo Franco declared his desire to leave the country and understudy Pablo Alcolea was injured, he played his first match as a professional, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Sporting de Gijón for the Segunda División championship.[2]

The following campaign, Whalley played 19 games as Zaragoza came sixth, and a further one on 11 June as they lost their play-off semi-final first leg 0–3 at home to Girona FC.[3] He was subsequently dropped for Bono for the rest of the tournament, as the team won the tie on away goals and lost the final by the same rule to UD Las Palmas.

On 10 July 2015, Whalley was loaned to neighbouring SD Huesca also in the second level.[4] On 8 August of the following year he moved to La Liga side Sporting de Gijón, as third-choice.[5]
