In 1972, he would make his debut for Universitario de Deportes as he would play in the 1972 Copa Libertadores finals as well as win the 1974 Torneo Descentralizado, primarily playing with Fernando Cuéllar.[1][2] He would leave the club in the middle fo the club's 1975 season to travel to Mxico to play for Atlas alongside Héctor Chumpitaz. He would return to Peru by 1977 to play for Sporting Cristal as the club would win the 1979 Torneo Descentralizado alongside other players such as Chumpitaz, Alfredo Quesada, Ramón Mifflin, Percy Rojas, Roberto Mosquera and Rubén Toribio Díaz with a majority of these players having also previously played for Universitario.[3][4][5]

After playing in the 1980 Copa Libertadores, he would play for ADT de Tarma for the rest of the season as the team was given the nickname of "La barredora". In 1981, he would return to play for Universitario in which he would play in a friendly against Boca Juniors that included Diego Maradona amongst the players.[6] He then returned to ADT the following season and later playing for Sport Boys. He spent the last two years of his career with Los Espartanos where he played with Hugo Sotil before retiring in 1985.
