Timeline
Alberto Zapater Arjol (born 13 June 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly as a defensive midfielder for Canadian Premier League club Atlético Ottawa.
He spent most of his career with Zaragoza, appearing in 422 official games and scoring 12 goals.
Zapater was born in Ejea de los Caballeros, Province of Zaragoza.
He joined his hometown side Real Zaragoza's academy at the age of 12.
The first-team manager, former Spanish international Víctor Muñoz, was impressed enough, allowing Zapater to join them for preseason training.
He was given his official debut on Zaragoza's first game of 2004–05, against Valencia CF in the Supercopa de España: although the Aragonese ended up losing 1–0 he put up a solid performance overall, confirmed in the 3–1 second leg away win.
At just 19, Zapater went on to feature in 31 La Liga matches during the league campaign, netting in a 2 March 2005 defeat at Real Sociedad where he was also sent off.
In the following season, he helped the club to finish as runners-up in the Copa del Rey (losing the final to RCD Espanyol) while also only missing three league matches; his strong tackling and the amount of fouls he committed earned him the nickname of 'The Bull', given by Diego Maradona.
Zapater took part in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship, in a Spanish team that also featured future senior internationals Cesc Fàbregas, Fernando Llorente and David Silva.
He scored his first and the only goal in a 3–1 defeat to Argentina in the quarter-finals.
After that, Zapater immediately established himself as an under-21 regular.
In late July 2009, after being instrumental in Zaragoza's return to the top division, and already playing pre-season football with the Maños, Zapater left for Genoa CFC for around €4.5 million, as the Spaniards were also immerse in a deep financial crisis.
He held an emotional press conference before parting ways with his boyhood team, whilst fans paid tribute to the player dedicating a song to him.
On 17 September 2009, Zapater had the distinction of scoring the first ever goal in the Europa League proper, with a fourth-minute strike against SK Slavia Prague.
He started throughout most of his debut season in Serie A – his maiden appearance in the competition being marked with a goal and an assist in a 3–2 home win over AS Roma – as Genoa finished in mid-table.
Before the end of the campaign and during the subsequent off-season he was linked with a move to several clubs, but nothing ever materialised.
In the following two seasons, after renewing his contract until June 2010, Zapater remained an undisputed starter, only missing four games while experiencing qualification for the UEFA Cup in 2006–07, and relegation the following year.
Zapater was sold to Sporting CP on 30 July 2010, as Miguel Veloso moved in the opposite direction.
Used intermittently in his only season he did appear in 34 official games for the Lions, scoring four times.
On 3 August 2011, Zapater moved to FC Lokomotiv Moscow on a free transfer, signing a five-year contract.
He made his first Russian Premier League appearance on 11 September, setting up Manuel da Costa's goal in a 4–2 win over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.
In an interview with Zaragoza-based newspaper El Periódico de Aragón in late 2012, he spoke of his development in the new reality and his efforts to learn the Russian language.
On 19 June 2016, Zapater returned to Zaragoza after agreeing to a two-year deal.
New manager Natxo González deployed him further up the field, and he responded by scoring five goals in the 2017–18 season, once in the promotion playoffs against CD Numancia; he would only find the net again four years later.
Zapater left the La Romareda in May 2023 after seven years in the Segunda División, aged 38.
At the time of his departure, he was the third player with the most appearances for the club at 422.
On 28 June 2023, Canadian Premier League club Atlético Ottawa announced the signing of Zapater for the remainder of the campaign, with an option to extend in 2024.
