Career

Club

Suárez began his senior career in 2014 with Quilmes, after youth spells with them and Rosario Central.[2][3] His professional debut arrived on 17 March 2014 in a 1–0 defeat to Lanús.[1] Seven more appearances followed throughout 2013–14, prior to ten in 2014 and seven in 2015.[1] In 2015, Suárez scored his first senior goal during a 2–1 victory over Vélez Sarsfield on 15 March.[1] In the following season, 2016, he made just one appearance for Quilmes before departing the club to join fellow Primera División team Sarmiento.[4] He made his debut for Sarmiento in December 2016 in a win away to former club Quilmes.[1]

Three more appearances came during 2016–17.[1] Ahead of the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División season, Suárez joined Defensa y Justicia.[3][5] After being an unused substitute in a 4–4 draw against Gimnasia y Esgrima on 26 August 2017, he made his Defensa y Justicia debut on 24 September in a loss against Colón.[1] That turned out to be his only match for the club as he departed in December 2017.[6] He subsequently joined Torneo Federal A side Estudiantes in February 2018.[1]

International

Suárez was called up to represent the Argentina U20s at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.[7][8] He played in Group B matches against Panama and Ghana as Argentina failed to reach the knockout stages.[1]
