The first homegrown player in Chicago Fire history, Pineda signed with the first team in August 2010. That year the midfielder lead the Chicago Fire U-16 Academy with eight goals and helped his team win the U.S. Soccer Federation Development Academy National Championship (in which he scored the first penalty kick of the penalty kick shootout). [2] He was subsequently called up to the United States U-18 national team [3] and scored twice during the international tournaments. On February 17, 2012, Pineda was selected to the national U-20 team as one of the two team leaders. [4]

Pineda made his MLS debut on March 23, 2014, in a match against New York Red Bulls. [5]

On June 13, 2014, Pineda moved to NASL team Indy Eleven on loan. [6] He signed with Indy for the 2015 season after he was released by Chicago.

In December 2015, Pineda signed with Fort Lauderdale Strikers. [7]
