Career

edit

Lanús were López's first senior club, with the midfielder appearing nine times for them in the Argentine Primera División between 2000 and 2002.[2] A move to Defensa y Justicia of Primera B Nacional followed, along with six appearances.[2] In 2004, López switched Argentina for Paraguay by agreeing to join Sportivo Luqueño.[2] He scored his first senior league goal for the Paraguayans, it arrived during a 6–1 defeat to Libertad on 24 March.[2][3] Three years later, Torneo Argentino A side Real Arroyo Seco signed López.[2] Two goals in forty-seven matches occurred, one of which came against 9 de Julio who became his fifth club in August 2009.[1][2]

After two campaigns in the third tier with 9 de Julio, which brought goals versus Ben Hur, Unión Sunchales, Rivadavia and Juventud Antoniana, López departed to sign for fellow Torneo Argentino A team Santamarina.[1][2] On 5 July 2012, López moved to Primera B Metropolitana's Flandria.[4][5] He made his debut in a 4–0 loss at the hands of Temperley on 5 August.[1] Five more appearances followed, prior to López retiring.[1][6]
