Yarbrough has three brothers, two older and one younger. Unlike William Yarbrough, his siblings live in the U.S. and not in Mexico.

Yarbrough started his career at six years old with Gallos de Aguascalientes. In 2005, he was invited for a trial with the under 17 team of C.F. Pachuca and later signed at the age of sixteen for the team. He played until April 2010 for the youth squad of Pachuca and was loaned out to his first senior team, Jaibos Tampico Madero. He was on loan until July 2011, participating in 38 matches during the Segunda División de México 2010–2011 season. In summer 2011 he joined Titanes Tulancingo on another loan.
León
During the 2012–2013 season, he was loaned out to Club León from Pachuca, and did not play a league match during the 2012 Apertura tournament. Yarbrough played his only match in the first round of the Copa MX Apertura against Dorados de Sinaloa. Yarbrough was the starting goalkeeper for León until the end of the 2013 Clausura tournament, playing 8 matches.

In 2007, Yarbrough received a call up to the Mexico U20 national team. In an interview, Yarbrough said though he played for Mexico U20, he has no preference between the two national teams as he is eligible to represent both.
