Club career

Mineros de Zacatecas

In the 2019-2020 season, he was the top goal scorer with a 10-goal advantage over his closest opponent, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was cancelled and there was no top goal scorer award.

He made his debut on 23 September 2021, coming in as a substitute for Nicolás Ibáñez in a 1-0 victory over Club Necaxa.
