Juan Luis Mora Palacios, Mora (born July 12, 1973 in Aranjuez), is a Spanish football goalkeeper, currently with "Segunda División" Levante UD.

Club career

A product of Real Oviedo's youth system, Mora debuted during 1993-94 and was the undisputed first-choice from 1994-97. In 1999, he joined RCD Espanyol, then spent 2002-03 and the following season in "Segunda División", with Xerez CD and Levante UD, respectively. In 2004-05's "La Liga", again with Levante, he played all 38 league matches, as his team was relegated in the last matchday.

He subsequently joined Valencia CF, where he was the third goalkeeper behind Santiago Cañizares and Ludovic Butelle first, and Cañizares and Timo Hildebrand afterwards (Cañizares was axed from the squad in December 2007, but reinstated in April, following Ronald Koeman's firing), playing only 3 league games in 3 seasons. He left the club after his contract expired at the end of the 2007-08 campaign.

On August 2008, Mora returned to Levante UD, freshly relegated into the second level.

International career

Mora was capped for Spain's U-21s in the 1996 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, and played Olympics football in the same year.
