José Daniel Rivera Martínez (born 8 May 1997) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a forward for Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes.

Club career

Rivera made his way through the youth ranks of Unión Comercio and, after three years,[2] he was promoted to the first team in the 2016 season under manager Walter Aristizábal. He made his debut on 11 September 2016 in a 1–0 victory against César Vallejo.[3] In May 2017, Rivera scored his first professional goal in a 2–1 victory against Alianza Atlético. He played a total of 22 league games in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. In that last season, he did not play regularly due to the good form of forward Cristian Lasso. From the 2018 season onwards, Rivera became a regular player, scoring 7 goals in 31 matches. In the 2019 season, he played almost all of Comercio's Liga 1 matches, scoring 4 goals and making 5 assists in 33 games, being the team's player with the most assists; however, Comercio was relegated at the end of the year.

After 87 league appearances for Unión Comercio, he left the club at the end of the 2019 season to join Cusco FC, signing a deal until the end of 2021 in February 2020.[4]

On 24 November 2021 it was confirmed, that Rivera would join Carlos A. Mannucci for the 2022 season.[5] Ahead of the 2023 season, Rivera then moved to Universitario de Deportes.[6]

International career

In May 2019, Rivera was called up for the Peruvian U23 national team to play the 2019 Pan American Games.[7] He played one game and was on the bench in the remaining three games. In October 2019, he was called up once again, to the squad that was going to play in the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[8]
