Career
Castro started in Defensa y Justicia's youth, before moving to Deportivo Maipú who selected him for his senior bow on 21 October 2012 in a 4–1 victory over Juventud Unida Universitario.[1][2] Months later, Castro went across Torneo Federal A to Cambaceres.[3] Twenty appearances followed.[3] A move to fellow third tier outfit Defensores de Belgrano was completed on 30 June 2014.[1] He scored on his club debut, netting a winner over Alvarado on the way to five overall goals; including a brace over Talleres.[1] In January 2015, Castro joined Primera División's Sarmiento.[1] His pro league bow came months later versus Arsenal de Sarandí.[4]
Having featured four times in the 2015 campaign for Sarmiento, they loaned him out in early 2016 to Santamarina of Primera B Nacional.[1] He subsequently scored in matches against Instituto and Gimnasia y Esgrima as they finished thirteenth.[1] Defensores de Belgrano resigned Castro ahead of the 2016–17 Torneo Federal A.[1] Fifty-six fixtures and fourteen goals occurred across two seasons with them.[1] On 30 June 2018, Castro signed with Independiente Rivadavia in Primera B Nacional.[1][5] Twenty-seven total appearances and seven goals occurred, including two in the end of season promotion play-offs versus Nueva Chicago.[1]
In July 2019, Castro went abroad after agreeing terms with Chilean Primera División side Palestino.[6]
