He scored the first goal of his career playing for Herediano at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama against Tauro FC in the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League. He was a high-profile subject of racist slants in a game against Cartaginés, prompting the referee to stop the game.
His play with Herediano in the Champions League drew the attention of Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew SC who made him the club's first signing for the 2014 season.
