Ecuadorian football knew the 1.88-metre centre-half from Esmeraldas as Cuchara, a name that followed him through Barcelona SC, Emelec, El Nacional and one season with Toronto FC in 2012. The Serie A title he won with Deportivo Quito in 2009 stands as his major honour, alongside nine caps for Ecuador from his debut in 2004 and a playing career that ran until 2018. Career record: club career at Barcelona S.C., S.D. Quito, Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito.
