Career
The striker initially played for Tauro FC in his home country and for Envigado FC and Deportes Tolima in Colombia . In 2005 he moved to Al Ain Club in the United Arab Emirates . With Al Ain Club he took part in the AFC Champions League . His team reached the final of this competition, which they lost to Al-Ittihad from Saudi Arabia .

In 2006 he moved back to Panama to Plaza Amador , one of the best teams in the country. But he only played a few games for the five-time champion. Condition problems threw him back again and again and he got the nickname "el gordito" (fat).
After recovering from his fitness problems, he made a brief stint at the Colombian football club Once Caldas . At the end of 2006, he moved back to Plaza Amador after he had been fired from the former Copa Libertadores winner due to disciplinary problems. In December 2006 he signed a contract with the US first division club Real Salt Lake and played in Major League Soccer from the 2007 season . There he was soon deleted from the squad and first moved to Tauro FC in Panama and from there to América de Cali in Colombia. He then played for CD Los Millonarios and then went to Tauro FC for the third time. From January 2010 to September 2012 he played in Peru for the Juan Aurich club . After engagements in Mexico with Deportivo Toluca and CD Veracruz , he went back to Peru, where he played for several clubs, including Juan Aurich again. In February 2020 he returned to his homeland.
