Career

[edit]

Sequeira started his career in Santiago del Estero with Central Córdoba, after youth spells with Agua y Energía and Vélez de San Ramón.[3][4] He made his senior debut on 26 March 2014 versus Gimnasia y Esgrima, playing the final twenty-five minutes in a 1–0 Torneo Federal A win.[2] In the following November, Sequeira scored his first goal in a win against Unión Aconquija which secured promotion to the 2015 Primera B Nacional.[2] He went on to score eight goals in sixty-nine matches in the second tier.[2] On 16 August 2017, Sequeira joined Argentine Primera División side Belgrano on loan.[5][6] His top-flight debut came vs. Tigre on 22 September.[2]

He made his 100th career appearance during a draw away to Defensa y Justicia on 12 March 2018.[2] Belgrano purchased Sequeira permanently at the conclusion of the 2017–18 campaign.[7] On 10 December 2021, Sequeira signed a new deal with Belgrano until the end of 2023 and was simultaneously loaned out to Liga MX club Querétaro for the 2022 season, with a purchase option.[8]

In 2023, Sequeira moved to Chile and joined Everton de Viña del Mar. In November of the same year, he renewed his contract until December 2025.[9] The next year, he moved on loan to Uruguayan club Peñarol.[10]
