Alfonso Pastor Vacas (born 4 October 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Levante UD.
Club career
[edit]Born in Bujalance, Seville, Andalusia, Pastor joined Sevilla FC's youth setup in 2013,[2] after representing Séneca CF and AD FB de Bujalance.[3] On 1 September 2018, while still a youth, he renewed his contract until 2021.[4]
Pastor made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 March 2019, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home win against UD Almería B.[5] Definitely promoted to the B-side for the 2019–20 campaign, he was mainly a first-choice[6] as the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 3 December 2020, as starter Bono tested positive to COVID-19 and immediate backup Tomáš Vaclík suffered an injury in the warm-up, Pastor made his first team debut by playing the full 90 minutes of a 4–0 home loss against Chelsea.[7] He subsequently lost his starting spot to Javi Díaz at the B-side, before being loaned out to Primera Federación side CD Castellón on 16 August 2022.[8]
On 17 January 2024, after spending the first half of the campaign unregistered, Pastor joined Levante UD on a short-term deal;[9] despite being announced at the reserves, he never featured for the side, being only a third-choice behind Joan Femenías and Andrés Fernández with the main squad. On 4 July, he renewed his contract until 2026.[10]
International career
[edit]Pastor represented Spain at under-17 level in the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, acting as a backup to Álvaro Fernández as his side finished second in the tournament.[11]
