Club career

[edit]

Cougo was born in Melo, and joined Defensor Sporting's youth setup at the age of 15. He made his first team debut on 14 February 2016, starting in a 1–3 home loss against Racing Montevideo.[1]

Cougo subsequently became a regular starter, and signed for Paraguayan club Libertad on 2 January 2019, after the club bought 50% of his economic rights for a US$ 1.5 million fee.[2] On 31 December, however, he returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Nacional.[3]

Back to Libertad for the 2021 season,[4] Cougo again failed to establish himself as a starter, and was loaned to Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Avaí on 21 January 2022.[5]
