Matías Damián Alonso Vallejo (Spanish pronunciation: [maˈti.as aˈlonso]; born 16 April 1985) is an Uruguayan footballer who plays for Club Atlético River Plate (Montevideo) 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. He moved to Spain subsequently, first with Celta de Vigo's reserves in the country's third division.

In 2007, Alonso joined Real Murcia, being immediately loaned to another team in the third level, SE Ibiza-Eivissa.[1] He appeared rarely for the main squad after returning, spending most of his spell with the B-side.

After Murcia's relegation from division two, Alonso joined Granada CF in July 2010.[2] In the following transfer window, without having made no official appearances for the Andalusians, he returned to his country, signing with C.A. Cerro on loan.

On 31 July 2011, Alonso agreed to 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.

Alonso moved abroad again in September 2013, joining A.S. Bari in the Italian Serie B.[3] Just three months later, however, he left Italy and moved to Defensor Sporting.[4]

Personal life

Alonso's older brother, Iván, was also a footballer and a forward. He too began his career at River Plate.[5]

His cousin, Diego Alonso, also played several years in Spain.
