Pedro Mosquera Parada (born 21 April 1988) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Deportivo de La Coruña mainly as a defensive midfielder.
Football career
Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Mosquera played roller hockey for his high school team in neighbouring Santa María del Mar.[1] In 2000, at the age of 12, he arrived in Real Madrid's youth system; six years later he played his first matches as a professional, in 2006–07's second division – four games, 84 minutes, team relegation.
On 24 January 2010, Mosquera was called to the first team for a match against Málaga CF, but did not leave the bench.[2] Two months and one day later he made his La Liga debut, playing one minute in a 4–2 away win against Getafe CF after replacing Xabi Alonso.[3]
Mosquera signed precisely with Getafe on 12 July 2010, penning a five-year contract and reuniting with former Real Madrid Castilla coach Míchel.[4] He made his debut for the club 16 days later, scoring against Germany's VFL Osnabrück.[5]
On 20 January 2012, after not playing one single minute under new manager Luis García in the season, Mosquera agreed to return to Castilla, with the team in the third level.[6] In summer 2014, after a further top flight campaign with Getafe, he joined fellow league side Elche CF on a three-year contract.[7] He scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight on 14 September while at the service of the latter, contributing to a 3–2 away win over Rayo Vallecano.[8]
On 27 July 2015, Mosquera cut ties with the Valencians[9] and signed a four-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña hours later.[10]
