Jesús Alfaro Ligero (born 24 June 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Wisła Kraków as a winger.
Born in La Palma del Condado, Huelva, Andalusia, Alfaro was a Sevilla FC youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 3 January 2010, starting in a 0–0 Segunda División B home draw against Marbella FC.
On 3 January 2013, after only sparingly for the B-side in the following years, Alfaro terminated his contract and immediately joined fellow third division club Arroyo CP. [1] He remained in the category in the following four seasons, representing Algeciras CF, [2] CD Alcoyano [3] and FC Barcelona B, [4] achieving promotion to Segunda División with the latter in 2017.
Alfaro made his professional team debut on 28 August 2017, coming on as a substitute for Ferrán Sarsanedas in an 0–3 home loss against CD Tenerife. [5] The following 17 January, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with fellow second division side Real Zaragoza. [6]
On 8 August 2018, Alfaro was loaned to third division club Real Murcia for the season. [7] The following January, he moved to Hércules CF also in a temporary deal, before signing a permanent contract with the latter club on 11 July 2019. [8]
On 21 June 2023, Alfaro signed for Polish second division club Wisła Kraków on a one-year deal with an extension option, [9] which was exercised in late April 2024. [10] On 2 May, he was named in the starting line-up for the 2023–24 Polish Cup final against Pogoń Szczecin. Alfaro was substituted in the 77th minute, as Wisła went on to win 2–1 after extra time. [11]
Alfaro's two brothers are also footballers: Juan José (1981), a midfielder, graduated in FC Barcelona's La Masia, but spent his entire career in Segunda División B or lower. Winger Alejandro (1986) appeared several seasons for Sevilla B, after emerging through the club's youth ranks. [12]
