Born in Chabás, Aguirre graduated from the youth setup of Arsenal de Sarandí and made his first team debut on 9 November 2008, in a 1–0 defeat against Boca Juniors.[2] On 29 March 2010, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 victory against San Lorenzo. In July, he was loaned to second tier club Atlético Rafaela.[3]

After amassing more than 100 appearances for Arsenal, Aguirre moved to Lanús on 12 February 2015 as a replacement for the injured Sebastián Leto.[4] On 12 April, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 victory over Banfield.[5] In June 2016, he suffered a muscle injury in his leg, which ruled him out of play for 1 month.[6] With the signing of Miguel Almirón, his playing time became limited in the 2016 season.[7]

On 2 February 2018, Aguirre moved abroad for the first time and joined Chinese Super League club Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.[8]
