Career

[edit]

Castro started with Gimnasia y Esgrima, signing in 2004.[5] In 2009, Castro was loaned to Liniers of Torneo Argentino B.[6] One goal in twenty-three appearances followed.[7] He returned to his parent club in 2010, subsequently making his debut in the Copa Argentina versus Sportivo Desamparados on 30 November 2011.[3] A second loan spell away arrived in August 2012, with the midfielder signing for Juventud Unida Universitario.[3] He made his bow in a 3–1 loss to Rivadavia on 26 August.[3] Castro left Gimnasia y Esgrima in 2013, joining Unión Mar del Plata.[3] Season two ended with promotion.[3]

After scoring goals versus Guaraní Antonio Franco, Independiente Rivadavia and Chacarita Juniors in his debut second tier campaign as they were relegated, Castro then completed a move to Crucero del Norte to remain in Primera B Nacional.[3][8] Castro played in fifty-seven games and netted seven goals across all competitions in two seasons with Chacarita Juniors, with his last two goals coming in a 3–0 win over Estudiantes in April 2017.[3][9] In the succeeding August, having suffered his second career relegation, Quilmes completed the signing of Castro.[3] Thirteen appearances occurred with them.[3][10]

Ten months later, Castro agreed to join his seventh senior team in Sarmiento.[3][2] His first appearance was in a fixture with Olimpo on 26 August, as he featured for eighty-five minutes before being substituted for Juan Caviglia.[3]
