Miguel Mora Morales (born 3 June 1974) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Mora was an unsuccessful FC Barcelona youth graduate, spent his first professional years with modest clubs, also mostly in his native region.^[1] His biggest success was appearing in 27 matches in 1998–99's second division, with UE Lleida.^[2]

Mora moved to neighbouring Portugal in January 2001, first with another lowly side, Madeira's C.F. União. For the 2003–04 season he joined Rio Ave F.C. of the Primeira Liga, and was the Vila do Conde team's first choice for the vast majority of his lengthy spell.^[3]^[1]

In 2007–08, Rio Ave returned from the second tier but Mora only managed to be backup in the following two top-flight campaigns, successively to Márcio Paiva and Carlos Fernandes, playing a total of four games. He retired in June 2010, at the age of 36.
