Donis Salatiel Escober Izaguirre (born 3 February 1981) is a Honduran football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Olimpia in the Honduran National League.

Club career

Born in San Ignacio, Escober started at Olimpia's youth side Juventud Olímpica and has played his entire professional career for Olimpia.

In March 2012, Escober was on the verge of breaking Motagua's Nicaraguan goalkeeper Róger Mayorga's 36 years old-record of 838 minutes without conceding a goal in the Honduran league. He did not make it in the end, after being beaten by a Marathón goal that left Escober only 35 minutes short of Mayorga's record.

International career

Escober made his debut for Honduras in a May 2002 friendly match against Japan and has, as of January 2013, earned a total of 17 caps. He has represented his country in 2 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played at the 2003 and 2007 UNCAF Nations Cups as well as at the 2009 and was a non-playing squad member at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

He has been an understudy to Noel Valladares for most of his international career.
