Club career

He was crowned the 2009 NSWPL Golden Boot winner with a haul of 15 goals in 20 matches [1] by Sydney Olympic [2]

On 13 August 2009 Mayora signed a six-week injury cover contract with Perth Glory after impressing in a trial. [3] [4] On 16 August 2009 he made his A-League debut for Glory against Wellington Phoenix, coming on in the 88th minute. [5] It was reported he would sign with Indonesian Super League club Persipura Jayapura on 15 September, cutting short his loan to Perth Glory. [6] On 27 October it was decided by the Indonesian club, that he was surplus to requirements and was dropped from his 1-Year contract. [7] He failed to impress several clubs in some trial sessions during pre-season of Indonesian Super League 2009/2010 with Persipura Jayapura who he played a full game for in a cup match. On 11 February 2010 announced his return to his former club Sydney Olympic. [8] After returning to Olympic, Mayora went to Uruguay and trialled for an unnamed club, who offered him a contract, however due to personal reasons he declined.

According to the Fijiian local news Mayora signed for NFL club Lautoka F.C. [9] Mayora made his debut for the club in the 2010-11 OFC Champions League matchday one game against Koloale FC Honiara and scored both goals in their 2–1 victory. [10]

Returning from Fiji, Mayora signed on with NSW Premier League outfit Marconi Stallions for the 2011 NSW Premier League season [11] After a cautious start to the 2011 season, Mayora was sent off in the 0–0 draw with Bonnyrigg in Round 5. [12]

Mayora left Marconi halfway through the 2011 NSW Premier League season, and once more went abroad in the hope of securing a professional contract. [13] It was announced that he had signed a contract with I-League club Southern Samity for the 2012 I-League 2nd Division. [14]

On 20 January Mayora signed for I-League side Shillong Lajong FC for the 2011–12 I League season. [15]

On 24 May Mayora made another return to Sydney Olympic for the 2012 season. [16]

Mayora moved out of Belmore for a third time at the end of the 2012 season, where he signed for Blacktown City. [17]

After a disappointing 2014 National Premier Leagues NSW single season at APIA Leichhardt, Mayora dropped a division, and signed for National Premier Leagues NSW 2 club Mounties Wanderers for the 2015 season. [18]
