Antonio Michael Pedroza Whitham (born 20 February 1991) is a professional footballer who plays for Herediano in the Costa Rican Primera División as a striker.
Antonio Pedroza was born in Chester to a Mexican father and an English mother. At two years old, he was brought to Miguel Auza, a municipality located in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.
Prior to starting his career, he spent short trial periods with various clubs in Europe such as Premier League clubs Fulham and Arsenal, as well as Spanish La Liga club Atletico de Madrid.[2]
Club career
Jaguares de Chiapas
Pedroza made his league debut with Jaguares on 24 July 2010 against Necaxa, coming in as a substitute after 45' minutes.
In 2011, there were rumours that Pedroza could potentially join the English club Tottenham Hotspur,[3] However, negotiations for Pedroza eventually fell through and he was left without a club because the Mexican draft had expired meaning he could not re-sign with Jaguares for the 2011–12 season.
Crystal Palace
Later came interest from south London side Crystal Palace for whom he signed a three-year contract.[4] However, he barely saw action with the Eagles' first team in the 2011–12 season.
Monarcas Morelia
Pedroza decided to return to Mexico on a loan with Morelia, to dispute the Liga MX and Copa MX.
