There he played for two years in the top Argentinian league and completed 75 league games for the Argentinos Juniors and reached positions in the midfield of the Primera División with the club. In 1989 he played for Cruz Azul in Mexico for a year before returning to the Argentinos Juniors. From there he went to CA Huracán in 1991 , also from Buenos Aires. Here he played a year in the lower midfield of the Primera División soccer before he ended his soccer career in 1993 at Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba .
