Club career

edit

Zambrano was born in San Cristóbal, Táchira. He finished his formation with CD Tenerife in Spain,[1][2] signing his first professional contract on 25 August 2010 shortly after his 18th birthday.[3]

Zambrano made his official debut for the Canary Islands side on 1 September 2010, coming on as a late substitute for Iriome González in a 1–4 away loss against Elche CF in the season's Copa del Rey.[4] His first league appearance came the following month, as he played 12 minutes in a 1–3 defeat at FC Barcelona B in the Segunda División.[5]

Zambrano's form for Tenerife's reserves attracted attention from bigger clubs such as FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC.[6] Nothing came of it and, on 29 December 2011, he returned to his country and joined Zamora FC on loan.[7]

Zambrano could not found his room in Tenerife's first team after his return, and he terminated his link on 18 January 2013.[8] Four days later he signed with Recreativo de Huelva, being immediately loaned to CD San Roque de Lepe in Segunda División B.[9]

On 30 December 2014, Zambrano cut ties with Recre and joined Deportivo La Guaira, being immediately loaned to Zulia FC also in Venezuela.[10]
