After a short spell with the De Anza Force academy, Lara moved to Mexico, signing with Pachuca. In October 2016, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 1999 worldwide. [6] [7] Three years after signing for Pachuca he made his professional debut for the club, playing ninety minutes in a 1–0 Copa MX win against Querétaro in August 2017. [8] He was loaned to fellow Liga MX side Club León for the 2018–19 season, but only managed one appearance - scoring an own goal in a 1–1 Copa MX draw with Cruz Azul in February 2019. [9]
