Career
Esparza made his debut on October 15, 2005 against CF Monterrey, playing only 11 minutes. He had switched playing time between Chivas and CD Tapatio since then, with a brief stay in Chivas Coras in the 2005-2006 season.
He took part in Chivas's Championship win in the Apertura 2006.
Esparza was given high praise by Mexico coach Javier Aguirre for his performances and was expected to cement a place in the 2010 World Cup starting line-up. However a knee injury picked up in the final game of the season ended his world cup hopes and he is not expected to be back in full training until June 2010.
