He began his career with the Chilean club Universidad de Chile in 1980, where he played until 1986[1] when he transferred to the Mexican club Puebla FC. During his first year he scored eight goals in 35 games, which did not convince the coach or the owners, so he was sent out on loan to crosstown rival Ángeles de Puebla. While playing there he scored 20 goals, which got the attention of Puebla FC's coach, so he was transferred back. In the 1988–89 tournament he scored 23 goals. In 1989–90 he increased his goal scoring further, scoring 22, including two in the 1989 final against Leones Negros.[2]
After the 1992 tournament, with the club in hiatus after losing the 1992 final, he was transferred to Cruz Azul where he managed to score 14 goals. In the 1993 tournament he was sent to Veracruz, where he spent two years scoring 15 goals in 64 games.[2] In 1995, he returned to Puebla FC where he scored his last seven with the club. He finished with 83, placing himself third[3] all time in the club's records. At the end of the tournament he left for his native Chile where he played with Club Deportivo O'Higgins for the 1996 tournament. In 1997, he again returned to Mexico to play with Unión de Curtidores where he retired.[4]
