Matias Damián Alonso Vallejo (born 16 April 1985) is an Uruguayan footballer who plays for Bolivian club The Strongest as a forward.
Football career
Born in Montevideo, Alonso started his career at local Club Atlético River Plate, signing with C.A. Peñarol in 2005 and not being successful at either club. Subsequently he moved to Spain, first with Celta de Vigo's reserves in the country's third division.
In 2007, Alonso joined Real Murcia, being immediately loaned to another club in the third level, SE Ibiza-Eivissa. After returning he appeared rarely for the first team, spending most of his spell with the B-side.
After Murcia's relegation from division two, in July 2010, Alonso joined Granada CF.[1] In the following transfer window, without having made no official appearances for the Andalusians, he returned to his country, joining C.A. Cerro on loan.
On 31 July 2011, Alonso signed a two-year contract with Zamora CF in Spain's third division. In January 2013, after a brief spell in China, he returned to his homeland and joined Juventud de Las Piedras.
In September 2013 Alonso moved abroad again, joining A.S. Bari in Serie B. Just three months later, however, he left Italy and moved to Defensor Sporting.[2]
Personal life
Alonso's older brother, Iván, is also a footballer and a forward. He too began his career at River Plate.[3]
His cousin, Diego Alonso, also played several years in Spain.
