Nagore (footballer)


Alberto Gómez Fernández, known as Nagore, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender.

Football career

Born in Madrid, Nagore spent until the age of nearly 30 in lower league football, rarely settling with a team as he only played more than one year with Alicante CF. In the 2009–10 season he contributed with 38 games and one goal – playoffs included – as AD Alcorcón promoted to Segunda División for the first time in its history.
In the 2012–13 campaign Nagore, still an undisputed starter for the Community of Madrid team, only missed three games in the regular season, totalled nearly 3,500 minutes of action and added four goals, as the club nearly achieved another promotion via the playoffs. Previously, on 30 June 2012, he renewed his contract for one year.
Nagore first reached La Liga aged 33, signing on 7 January 2014 for six months with Levante UD as a replacement for the departed Christian Lell. He made his debut two days later, playing the second half of a 0–0 away draw against Rayo Vallecano for the round of 16 in the Copa del Rey.
Nagore played his first match in the Spanish top flight on 9 February 2014, replacing injured Nikos Karabelas in the first half of an eventual 0–0 draw at Real Sociedad. Following his short spell he returned to his previous club, signing a two-year deal on 10 July 2014.
