Maureen Javier Franco Alonso (born 13 December 1983), known as Maureen Franco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmawɾeɱ ˈfɾaŋko][a]), is a Uruguayan former footballer who played as a striker.

Career

[edit]

Born in Durazno, Franco began playing club football with Nacional. After failing to break into the first team, Franco went on loan to Uruguayan Segunda División side Club Sportivo Cerrito. A season later, he joined Cerrito on a permanent basis and helped the club gain promotion to the first division. After scoring 13 goals in 14 matches to lead the 2009 Torneo Apertura, Franco earned a move to Argentine Primera División side Chacarita Juniors in January 2010.[1]

In 2016, Franco joined Primera Division side C.A. Cerro. The following season, he scored 25 goals for the club (the second most in the league).[2]
