Career

edit

Loboa began his career in 2006 for top tier Categoría Primera A side Deportivo Cali as a defensive midfielder. He was considered a good enough talent to be included in the Colombian U-20 squad that played in the 2007 South American Youth Championship that finished sixth within the tournament and failed to qualify for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. When he returned he was unable to establish himself as first team regular and in 2010 he would join second tier Categoría Primera B side Deportivo Pasto.[4]

On July 9, 2011 he joined Chinese top tier side Shanghai Shenhua on loan for six mouths to see him play out the rest of the Chinese league season. He would immediately be included in the club's first team and within five days make his debut as a substitute in a 1−1 draw with Liaoning Whowin.[5] After the game Loboa would struggle to establish himself within the team and would often be used as a substitute, he would however score his debut goal against Jiangsu Sainty in a 3-2 defeat before leaving.[6]

After his loan period ended he would permanently join top tier Mexican side Club León half way through the 2011–12 Mexican league season.[7]
