Club career

López had a youth stint with Platense Junior, before playing at senior level in tier two for Villanueva and Yoro.[2] He began featuring for Parrillas One in Liga Nacional from the 2014–15 campaign.[1] He scored on his debut for the club, netting a late goal in a 3–2 defeat away to Real España on 1 August 2014.[1] He followed that with fifteen further goals that season, including a brace over Victoria in September.[1] Midway through the next campaign, in January 2016, López completed a move to top-flight side Real España.[1] He scored twenty-one times in one hundred appearances across three seasons, with Real España winning the 2017–18 Apertura in the process.[1][3]

In June 2018, López was called up by the Honduras national team.[1][4] He subsequently won two caps for his country, coming off the substitutes bench in friendly matches with South Korea and El Salvador.[1] López made the preliminary squad for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, though was cut from the final squad.[5][6]
