Club career
Early career
He began playing on November 11, Juventus and Expreso Rojo, a team with which he became champion. He was also called to the selection of his Cartagena province. Later he had a brief stint at Academia de Crespo and from there he went to a training school in Medellín called Student. At the age of 17, he was offered to go to Argentina, arriving at Boca Juniors where he was tested for a few months; although they loved him, he could not play official matches because he was not with his parents. He returned to Colombia to later return to Argentina, this time to Argentinos Juniors where he spent 6 months and suffered the same fate as in Boca. Then his representative would get him a chance at Racing.

Racing Club
He made his debut for Racing Club de Argentina in a match for the 2013 Copa Sudamericana, in which his team fell to Lanús 2–1, entering the second half replacing Ricardo Centurión. His first match in the First Division of Argentine soccer was in the defeat of his team by 3 to 1 against Tigre for the 2013 Initial Tournament.

His first game was against Atlético Tucumán where he assisted his teammate Martín Michel at the last minute to make it 1–0. In only 2 games was he a starter, the other 7 always coming off the bench. His loan ended and he returned to Racing.
