His performances in Cobreloa allowed him to be called for the Chilean national team’s 2007 Copa América 23-roster man.[1]

From 2005 to 2010, he played as first-choice keeper for Cobreloa.
In 2011, he signed for Unión San Felipe, but didn't play any game in the year due to an achilles tendon injury.[2]
