Club career
Born in Medellín, Aguirre began his career with the Escuela de la Universidad de Antioquia, where he spent five years before joining Sueños del Fútbol. Having featured for Sueños del Fútbol at the age of nine in the Torneo de Pony Fútbol , he went on to join Envigado, spending one season at the age of ten. At the age of eleven, he trialled with Atlético Nacional, and joined the club shortly after.

Having grown too old to represent the club at youth level, Atlético Nacional loaned him to Categoría Primera B side Leones. Having made his professional debut in the Categoría Primera B in 2016, he helped the side to promotion in the 2017 season, before featuring for the side in the 2018 Categoría Primera A.

In January 2019, Aguirre moved to Mexico to sign for Ascenso MX side Celaya. The following season, he established himself in the team, before continuing with the club for the beginning of the 2020–21 season, in which the league was renamed the Liga de Expansión MX.

After two seasons with Uruguayan side Wanderers, Aguirre returned to Colombia, signing with former club Atlético Nacional ahead of the 2023 season. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Deportivo Pasto on 21 May 2023.
