Club career

Following the 2017–18 Opening Season, Lopez was named the league's best new young player as part of Wagiya FC. [1] Prior to the start of the Closing Season, he moved to league rivals Verdes FC. [2]

Lopez traveled to the United States to spend pre-season with Indy Eleven of the USL Championship. [3] In April 2021, he returned to the country to trial with EFA Metro of the United Premier Soccer League despite being under contract with Verdes FC until June 2022. Although he went with the approval of the club and the club would support a transfer beneficial to Lopez's development, Verdes FC was unhappy about how former national team head coach Richard Orlowski contacted the players directly. [4] In December of that year, Lopez won the league's most valuable player award as the league's joint top goal scorer. [5]

Lopez went out on loan from Verdes FC in December 2022, joining C.D. Platense of El Salvador's Primera División. Platense became interested in the player after the club played Verdes in the 2022 CONCACAF League. Lopez made his debut for Platense in a pre-season friendly against Juventud Independiente in early January 2023. [6] In total, he played six pre-season matches for the club and missed another through injury. He would miss the opening match of the Clausura 2023 because his transfer paperwork was delayed. Lopez was eventually cleared to play in the club's second match. [7] He went on to make his official league debut on 3 February 2023 against C.D. Luis Ángel Firpo. [8] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 victory over Atlético Marte on 26 February. [9]

International career

Lopez made his senior international debut on 3 June 2018 in a 0–0 draw away to Barbados. [10]
