Federico "Fede" Darío José Vega (born 4 February 1993) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right back. He is currently playing for Valletta in the Maltese Premier League.

Club career

Born in Don Torcuato, Buenos Aires Province, Vega joined River Plate's youth setup in 2004.[1] In January 2013 he was called up to the main squad by manager Ramón Díaz for the pre-season,[2] being subsequently promoted to the first team.

On 13 October 2013 Vega made his professional – and Primera División – debut, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Newell's Old Boys.[3] After appearing in a 1–2 home loss against Estudiantes,[4] he was demoted to the reserves, as Díaz was dismissed.

On 4 February 2015 Vega was released by River.[5] Late in the month, he was linked to a possible move to FC Dallas,[6] but nothing came of it.

In July 2015 Vega joined AD Alcorcón in Spain. Initially assigned to the reserves,[7] he appeared the whole pre-season with the main squad and was granted a first team number on 19 August, being assigned #2 jersey.[8]

Vega made his debut for the Alfareros on 9 September 2015, starting in a 0–1 Copa del Rey home defeat against SD Ponferradina.[9] In late January 2016, he was chosen as first-choice by manager Juan Muñiz, and remained a starter until the end of the campaign.

On 22 June 2016, Vega renewed with Alcorcón for a further campaign.[10] On 11 September he scored his first professional goal, netting the game's only in a home success over Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[11]

On 28 June 2017, Vega left the club as his contract was due to expire,[12] and joined Segunda División B side Real Murcia on 18 July.[13] The following 31 January, he returned to the second tier after agreeing to a deal with Lorca FC.[14]
