Club career

He made his senior debut for Puntarenas on 20 November 1983 against Ramonense [2] and also played for Herediano, Cartaginés and Santa Bárbara [3] before joining Deportivo Saprissa as their second goalkeeper behind José Francisco Porras, after an injury ruled out regular starting goalie Erick Lonnis.
