William Antonio Maldonado López (born January 3, 1990 in Santa Ana, El Salvador) is a Salvadoran footballer who currently plays for Santa Tecla.
Club career
Maldonado's professional career began on July 3, 2007 when he signed a contract with now defunct Salvadoran national league club, San Salvador. He was one of six players from the El Salvador U17 national team, that would sign for San Salvador that season. The others were Ricardo Orellana, Diego Chavarría, Xavier García, Óscar Arroyo and Fabricio Alfaro.
He first gained the attention of league teams as a member of the 2006-2007 El Salvador U17 national team, where he showed a lot of potential, with his creative passing, speed and exceptional free kicks.
He made his professional debut on September 23, 2007, in a league match against Alianza, and scored his first goal on October 7 that same year in a league match against FAS. His second goal came four months later on February 20 in a 2–2 away draw against Chalatenango.
International career
Maldonado made his debut, aged only 17, for El Salvador in a November 2007 friendly match against Jamaica, coming on as a late sub for Shawn Martin. The match has been his only senior international so far.
