Club career
editBorn in Barahona, Edipo moved to Soria in 1999, aged six,[1] and started playing for lowly CD Calasanz five years later. In March 2008 he went on a trial at Real Valladolid, but nothing came of it.[2]
In the 2009 summer Edipo joined CD Numancia, after a stint at Club Internacional de la Amistad.[3] In 2011, he made his senior debuts, appearing for the former's reserve team in Tercera División.
On 15 February 2015 Edipo played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second half substitute for Mickaël Gaffoor in a 2–1 away win against SD Ponferradina in the Segunda División championship.[4] On 11 July he was loaned to Segunda División B side CD Guadalajara, in a season-long deal.[5]
In May 2016, after being sparingly used by Guadalajara, Edipo joined Club Atlético San Cristóbal in his homeland. He rescinded his link in August, and returned to Spain in October after signing for CD San José in the fourth tier.[6]
On 16 January 2017, Edipo moved to CE L'Hospitalet in the third division.[7]
International career
editOn 18 August 2014 Edipo was called up to Dominican Republic national team for a friendly against El Salvador.[8] He made his international debut late in the month, starting in a 0–2 loss.[9]
