Borja Viguera Manzanares (born 26 March 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Sporting de Gijón as a striker.
Born in Logroño, La Rioja, Viguera graduated from Real Sociedad's prolific youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2006–07 season, in Segunda División B. On 15 September 2007, he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a substitute for Iñigo Díaz de Cerio in a 3–2 away win against UD Las Palmas for the Segunda División championship; he appeared in a further two matches with the main squad during the following campaign, as the Txuri-urdin missed out on promotion by finishing fourth.
In June 2009, Viguera was definitely promoted to Real's first team, but featured rarely as the Basques were crowned champions. On 11 January 2011, he joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona on loan until June, suffering a knee injury the following month that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
On 26 August 2011, Viguera returned to Nàstic again in a temporary deal. However, after being sparingly used by the Catalans, he returned to Real Sociedad on 31 January 2012, and was subsequently loaned to Albacete Balompié in the third level.
