Career

edit

Almagro were the club who gave Yaqué his start in senior football, with the forward appearing for the team in Primera B Metropolitana between 1989 and 1992.[1] Yaqué moved abroad for the first time in 1992, signing for Colombia's Real Cartagena of Categoría Primera A.[1] He departed midway through the year after just one appearance, as the club went on to suffer relegation.[1] Yaqué had returned to Argentina with Nueva Chicago.[1] After spending 1992–93 with them, Yaqué returned to third tier Almagro in 1994.[1] They won promotion to Primera B Nacional in his second campaign back.[1] He remained there for one further season.[1]

In 1997, Yaqué completed a move to Argentine Primera División side Ferro Carril Oeste.[1] Nine goals in twenty-eight fixtures followed.[1] 1998 saw Yaqué leave his homeland once more, agreeing terms with Reggina of the Italian Serie B.[1][3] He left halfway into the 1998–99 season, signing for Estudiantes in early 1999.[4][5] Yaqué stuck with Estudiantes until the middle of 2000, which was followed by him signing a contract with Universitario.[1] He scored eight goals for the Peruvians, which preceded Argentinos Juniors becoming Yaqué's eighth club.[1] His return to Argentina lasted until 2002, when Ecuador's L.D.U. Quito signed Yaqué.[1]

Yaqué, having featured eighteen times and netted eight goals in the Ecuadorian Serie A, had a stint in European football for the second time in 2003, after spending time with Ceuta in Segunda División B - scoring five times in twelve matches.[1] A move to Huracán sealed a return to Argentina, where he would stay for the rest of his career.[1] Thirty appearances with Huracán came, before Yaqué experienced 2004–05 with Defensores de Belgrano in tier two; though it would end with relegation.[1] He rejoined Almagro for a third time in 2005, prior to having spells with Villa Mitre and Los Andes; who he'd score twenty-one goals for.[1][2][6][7]

After being sent off in his final appearance for Los Andes, Yaqué joined Almagro for a fourth time in 2009.[1][2] He took his overall league tally for Almagro to two hundred and thirty-two games and one hundred and fifty-five goals - including ten goals in 2009–10, where he netted against former teams Los Andes and Nueva Chicago.[1][2][8] Yaqué also scored home and away that season in fixtures with Comunicaciones, a club he would later join in 2011.[1][2] However, prior to that, Yaqué played for Sarmiento - he found the net four times for the Junín outfit.[1][2] The final goal of his career came on 22 August 2011 during a defeat to Brown.[2]
