The deal was for three months, but he stayed in Peru all the year. He made his debut against Coronel Bolognesi on 3 January 1988, playing alongside Teófilo Cubillas.[1]
After a stint with Cobreandino, where he scored two goals,[2] he returned to Peru and played for Inter San Borja,[3] Ovación Sipesa,[4] with whom he won the 1992 Torneo Zonal [es] and got promotion to the top level,[5] and Cienciano.[6]

He retired at the age of 29.[1]

He also has worked for the youth ranks of Deportes Temuco and San Antonio Unido as well as the head coach of both.[8] In 2019 he assumed as the head coach of San Antonio Unido, replacing Freddy Ferragut.[9]
In 2022, he assumed as the coach of La Pintana Unida [es] in the Chilean Tercera A.[9] After, he joined Fernández Vial youth system.[10]
Personal life
