Matias Damián Alonso Vallejo (born 16 April 1985) is an Uruguayan-Spanish footballer who plays for Zamora CF in Spain, as a forward.

Football career

Born in Montevideo, Alonso started his career at local Club Atlético River Plate, moving to 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 moved to Real Murcia, being immediately loaned to another club in level three, SE Ibiza-Eivissa. After returning, he appeared rarely for the first team, spending most of his spell at the club with the B squad.

After Murcia's relegation from Segunda División, 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, signing for C.A. Cerro on loan.

Personal

Alonso's older brother, Iván, is also a footballer and a forward. He too began his career at River Plate, also playing abroad with Murcia, but with much more individual success.

His cousin, Diego Alonso, also played several years in Spain (five years with as many teams).
