Career

edit

Max began with Newell's Old Boys, before signing with San Martín.[3] He was a senior member from 2008, though made his first two appearances across 2009–10 and 2010–11 against Sportivo Italiano and Tiro Federal as the club suffered relegation.[1] No appearances followed in 2011–12, though he did play forty-two times in Torneo Argentino A across the next two seasons.[4][5] Atlético Tucumán of Primera B Nacional signed Max in 2014.[1] He made his bow versus Independiente Rivadavia on 24 October; his only match.[1] A move back to tier three came with Mitre in 2015, which preceded tier two's Juventud Unida signing Max.[1][6]

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Max joined Primera B Nacional side Quilmes.[1][7][8] His first appearance came on 18 September against Sarmiento, as he went on to participate in nineteen fixtures to finish twelfth.[1] Max was demoted to Quilmes' reserves on 8 May 2019, before agreeing terms with newly promoted Super League Greece side Volos a day later; penning a two-year contract, subject to the passing of a medical - which he later passed.[9][10][11] He appeared twenty-eight times in one season with the club.[1] On 18 August 2020, Max moved to Hungary with Diósgyőri.[2]

After a season in Hungary, he returned to Argentina joining Cerro Largo F.C. where he would play two seasons. Then, in 2023, he joined Unión La Calera where he played until the end of the year. During the winter break of 2023–24, he surprisingly returned to Europe, this time to play for the Serbian SuperLiga side FK Železničar Pančevo.

In September 2024, Max returned to Argentina to join Gimnasia LP, signing an 18-month contract.[12]
