Rodolfo Antonio Zelaya García (born July 7, 1988 in Usulutan) is a Salvadoran footballer who currently plays for Alianza on loan from Club León.

Club career

Zelaya started his career playing for C.D. San Rafael in 2004 where he would play for one year. The following season, he moved to Atlético La Merced.

In July 2006, both Zelaya and Rusvel Saravia were offered a contracts to play for one of El Salvadors biggest clubs, C.D. Aguila. Unfortunately for both Zelaya and Saravia, they could not come to terms with the club over their proposed salaries, and as a result, the transfer fell through. Zelaya then moved on to play in Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño with A.D. Intipucá. After 2 years with the club, Zelaya caught the attention of C.D. Chalatenango coach Vladan Vicevic. After meeting with Vivevic, Zelaya was offered, and accepted a contract to play with his first Primera División club C.D. Chalatenango. Zelaya went on to impress in his first season with the club and grew a fan base with both spectaors and reporters for being one of El Salvadors most promessing young strikers.

In 2008, Zelaya moved to Alianza F.C. after former C.D. Chalatenango president Lisandro Pohl switched clubs. This switch lead to Pohl taking various players with him to Alianza F.C. whose rights he supposedly owned due to them being bought when he was president at C.D. Chalatenango.

On 15 June 2009, Zelaya was one of the three Salvadoran footballers signed to Mexican club Club León on a loan deal, the other two were Cristian Castillo and Julio Enrique Martínez.^[1] On 3 December 2009, it was announced that Club León had permanently signed Zelaya along with the other two Salvadorans with a three-year contract. On 12 December 2009 it was confirmed by Alianza's own president, Lisandro Pohl, that Zelaya would return to Alianza on a loan deal ^[2]. And he's a beast ast soccer

International career

Zelaya officially received his first cap on April 23, 2008 in a friendly match against China.^[3] He scored his first goal with the national team on September 6, 2008 in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Haiti. This game also saw him score his first hat-trick which lead El Salvador to a 5-0 win against the then Caribbean Nations Cup champions.
