In 2009 Castro ascended to the first team of Cobreloa, after playing 4 years on the youth club.[1] On August 11, 2010 he signed with Universidad de Chile with a free agent after leaving Cobreloa on his own,[2] but after claims of the ANFP and Cobreloa the player didn't sign a contract with Universidad de Chile, and he returned to Cobreloa. On August 18, Castro finally signed with Universidad de Chile after negotiations with Cobreloa, acquiring the 65% of the player, on 250.000 US dollars.[3] He scored his first goal with La U in a match against Unión San Felipe, for the 2011 Copa Chile. He was the top-scorer of La U in the 2011 Torneo de Clausura with 8 goals.
