Pedro Mosquera Parada (born 21 April 1988) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.

Club 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. He started out as a professional in 2006–07's Segunda División – four games, 84 minutes and relegation. ^[2]

On 24 January 2010, Mosquera was called to the first team for a match against Málaga, but did not leave the bench. ^[3] He made his La Liga debut two months and one day later, playing one minute in a 4–2 away win over Getafe after replacing Xabi Alonso. ^{[4] [5]}

Mosquera signed precisely with Getafe on 12 July 2010, penning a five-year contract and reuniting with former Real Madrid Castilla coach Míchel. ^[6] He made his debut for the club 16 days later, scoring against Germany's VfL Osnabrück in a friendly. ^[7]

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 side in the Segunda División B. ^{[8] [5]} In summer 2014, after a further top-flight campaign with Getafe, he joined Elche of the same league on a three-year contract. ^[9] He scored his first goal in the Spanish top tier on 14 September while at the service of the latter, contributing to a 3–2 away victory over Rayo Vallecano. ^[10]

Mosquera cut ties with the Valencians on 27 July 2015, ^[11] and signed a four-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña hours later. ^[12] He played 37 matches in his first season, helping to a final 15th position in the table. ^[13]

On 2 August 2019, Mosquera terminated his contract at the Estadio Riazor ^[14] and joined Huesca for two years the following day. ^[15] During his spell in Aragon, he totalled 100 appearances. ^[16]

On 8 July 2022, Mosquera moved to Primera Federación club Alcorcón. ^[17] Two years later, the 36-year-old joined Rayo Majadahonda of Segunda Federación. ^[18]
