Jesús Alfaro Ligero (born 24 June 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Wisła Kraków as a winger.

Club career

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. He remained in the category in the following four seasons, representing Algeciras CF, CD Alcoyano and FC Barcelona B, 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. The following 17 January, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with fellow second division side Real Zaragoza.

On 8 August 2018, Alfaro was loaned to third division club Real Murcia for the season. 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.

On 21 June 2023, Alfaro signed for Polish second division club Wisła Kraków on a one-year deal with an extension option, which was exercised in late April 2024. 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.

Personal life

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.
