Club career

Mercado started his professional career playing for U.T. de Cotopaxi in August 2004, playing in the Ecuadorian Segunda Categoría. After two years in this club, he took a big step in his career, signing with Ecuadorian giants El Nacional.

In January 2008, he signed a deal with Peruvian side FBC Melgar. [1]

In mid 2011, Mercado signed a contract with Uruguayan side Montevideo Wanderers. [2]

Later career

In December 2018, Mercado signed with Águila of the Salvadoran Primera División. [3] He left the club in the summer 2019.

In February 2020, it was reported that Mercado had joined Paraguayan club Sportivo Luqueño. [4] However, in October 2020 Luqueño confirmed on Twitter, that Mercado never had signed officially with the club, but only trained with the team and played a few friendly games for them. [5] This clarification came after Mercado was presented at Uruguayan club Rocha in October 2020, where Rocha, in a part of the welcome, mentioned Sportivo Luqueño as Mercado's last club. Mercado later sued Luqueño because he claimed, that he had signed a contract with the club and didn't receive the payment of the commitments contained in the contract. [6]

Mercado officially joined Uruguayan club Rocha F.C. in the beginning of October 2020. [7] In March 2021, Mercado joined Guayaquil SC.
