Salvador Pérez Martínez (born 8 May 1990), known as Salva Chamorro, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career

Born in Orihuela, Valencian Community, Chamorro spent the vast majority of his career in the Spanish lower leagues, starting out at Villarreal CF B then going on to represent CP Cacereño and CD Teruel.[1] In the summer of 2011 he signed with FC Cartagena, still on loan from Villarreal CF,[2] making his professional debut on 27 August in a 2–0 away loss against Hércules CF[3] and scoring his first goal in the Segunda División the following 7 January in the 2–0 home win over SD Huesca,[4] as the season ended in relegation.[5]

Chamorro subsequently returned to Segunda División B, where he appeared for Villarreal B, CD Atlético Baleares,[6] UE Llagostera[7] and Lleida Esportiu.[8] He helped the second club to promote to the second level for the first ever in 2014, netting 11 times playoffs included.[9][10]

Chamorro signed for Scottish side Hamilton Academical in July 2015,[11] but he left after less than a month because international clearance could not be processed,[12] joining C.D. Tondela from Portugal instead.[13] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 27 September, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Dolly Menga in a 1–0 defeat at C.S. Marítimo.[14]

In his last game, Chamorro featured only six minutes but was still able to contribute to a 2–2 away draw against league leaders Sporting CP, scoring the final equaliser from a counter-attack.[15] After terminating his contract citing personal reasons,[16] he returned to his country and signed with FC Barcelona B until 30 June 2017.[17]

Chamorro moved to Hong Kong Premier League team Hong Kong Pegasus FC in summer 2016. Having appeared rarely over the course of one single season, his contract was not renewed.[18]

Chamorro continued to switch clubs and countries in the following years, representing Real Murcia CF, UD Logroñés (both in the Spanish third tier),[19] Ittihad Tanger (Morocco),[20] Doxa Drama FC (Football League Greece) and Mohun Bagan AC (Indian I-League).[21][22]

In January 2020, Chamorro joined Tercera División's Mar Menor FC.[23]
