Career

[edit]

Figueroa, after joining their academy from Villa Luro Norte, started out with Vélez Sarsfield, with manager Miguel Ángel Russo promoting him into their senior set-up during the 2015 Primera División.[2][3][4] In four seasons, he was an unused substitute on eleven occasions - six times in the aforementioned campaign, with the other five arriving in 2016–17.[2][5] On 30 July 2018, Figueroa completed a loan move to Primera B Metropolitana side Deportivo Español.[2][6][7] He made his professional bow with the club in February 2019, featuring for the full duration of a goalless draw with Tristán Suárez.[2]

In September 2020, Figueroa joined Primera C Metropolitana club Ituzaingó.[2] Figueroa helped Ituzaingó with promotion to Primera B Metropolitana for the 2022 season, after a match against Argentino de Merlo that ended in a penalty shootout, where Figueroa's saves sent the team up to Argentina's third best tier.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

In April 2016, Figueroa contracted dengue virus.[9][10] He was isolated at home to avoid contagion, before returning to training with Vélez Sarsfield.[11][12]
