Albert Dorca Masó (born 23 December 1982) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in Olot, Girona, Catalonia, Dorca played 418 Segunda División matches as a professional after spending his youth career at FC Barcelona. He represented Girona FC, Racing de Santander, Real Murcia CF, Real Zaragoza, Elche CF and AD Alcorcón.

Dorca made his debut in the competition on 30 August 2008 as a Girona player, featuring 90 minutes in the 1–0 away win against RC Celta de Vigo. In the 2017–18 season he scored a career-best seven goals to help Alcorcón to finish in 13th position and, one month shy of his 36th birthday, renewed his contract until 30 June 2020.

After two years with lowly UE Cornellà (Segunda División B, Primera Federación), Dorca retired aged 39. He then moved to the newly created seven-a-side Kings League.
