Career

Early career

Born in Concordia, Godoy played as a midfielder for local side Club Salto Grande, and also had a failed trial at Vélez Sarsfield. He later moved to Atlético Rafaela in 2010, [2] where he was converted into a right-back by manager Víctor Bottaniz  [ es ]. [3]

Atlético Rafaela

After progressing in the youth categories, Godoy made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 10 April 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Crucero del Norte. [4] He immediately became a starter for the side, and scored his first senior goal on 10 August, in a 5–1 Copa Argentina home routing of Deportivo Merlo; he was later sent off in that match. [5]

Talleres

In July 2016, Godoy was transferred to Talleres de Córdoba, after the club purchased 80% of his economic rights. [6] He became an immediate first-choice for the side, rarely missing a match for the club. [7]

In September 2020, amidst transfer rumours to Estudiantes, Godoy signed a new two-year contract with Talleres. [8]

Estudiantes

On 16 September 2020, Godoy was loaned to Estudiantes until December 2021, with a buyout clause. [9] On 15 December 2021, the club exercised his clause, purchasing 50% of his economic rights for a fee of US$ 1 million. [10]

Godoy was a first-choice during his entire spell at the Pincharratas, helping the club to win their first-ever Copa Argentina title in 2023.

Athletico Paranaense

On 6 January 2024, Godoy was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense, signing a four-year deal. [11] He shared the starting spot with Madson during the campaign, [12] as the club suffered relegation.

Loan to Santos

On 13 January 2025, Santos announced the signing of Godoy on a one-year loan deal, with a buyout clause. [13]
