Career

Success in Barcelona avoided him and he was transferred on a free to Macará where he stayed for 2 seasons and then he was signed by Deportivo Cuenca where he played very well, this attracted the interest of Ecuadorian giants Emelec, which signed the player at the end of 2008. He immediately established himself as a first team regular and won his first cap for the Ecuadorian National Squad.
