Playing style

[edit]

As a youth player, he tried out for Dutch giant AFC Ajax where he spent about a year but never got a chance to play on their first team. In 1999, he returned to Ecuador, where he played a few matches for the U18 division of Emelec. In 2000, he made his debut with Emelec's First Division squad and remained with the club until 2012, year in which he retired from professional soccer.[2] He played for Ecuador's national team against Chile in 2004.[3]

In 2009, he was awarded the gold "Fair Play" medal by the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) for his high standard of correct play.[4]
