He would play eight games in his first season as a professional and, later, he would make his debut in the Copa Sudamericana on March 18, 2021 against Mineros de Guayana in the previous phase, where his team would advance to the group stage. However, he did not see minutes in that round in which Aragua was eliminated.
In 2022, he would not be called up for much of the season, but would become the undisputed starter in the final stretch of the campaign. Unfortunately, his team would be last in the table and would be relegated to the second division of national football.
The first of January of the current year, the news of his death would be known. This would happen during the New Year celebrations. However, the cause of his death is unknown.
