His father sent him to join a US military school instead of him moving to Costa Rican team Saprissa[1] and on his return in 1956 he went to Mexico to play for Universidad Puebla. He joined Nicaraguan side UNAN de León in 1958 and had further spells at Diriangén and in Honduras with F.C. Motagua.[2]
