Alfonso Herrero Peinador (born 21 April 1994) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid Castilla.
Club career
[edit]Born in Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Herrero began his career in the youth ranks of Real Madrid. He made his senior debut for the C-team on 24 August 2013 away to rivals Atlético Madrid B, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 Segunda División B victory in the first game of the campaign.[1] He made 33 appearances as the team finished the season in ninth, but were relegated to Tercera División because the B-team had gone down into their league.
Exactly a year after his third-team debut, Herrero made his first appearance for the reserve team, against the same team at the same venue, but lost 2–1.[2] He played eight games across the season – by September, manager Zinedine Zidane preferred Rubén Yáñez.
International career
[edit]Formerly an under-17 international, Herrero was back-up to Rubén Blanco as Spain reached the semi-finals of the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Lithuania.
