Lanata then moved to River Plate, where he stayed from 1912 to 1916, playing about forty games and scoring four goals. In 1914, Lanata won the Copa de Competencia Jockey Club with the club.[3] That year River qualified to play the Tie Cup, which the club would win being River Plate's first international title after defeating Uruguayan team Bristol by 1-0.[4][5]

In 1918 Lanata played fleetingly in Boca Juniors,[6] then he went for Banfield and ended his career in the Quilmes Atlético Club.
