Club career
Born in San Gustavo, Entre Ríos Province, Tabares started playing professionally with Comisión de Actividades Infantiles, serving a loan at Club Necaxa of Liga MX during the 2003 Apertura and 2004 Clausura tournaments. He returned to Argentina in 2005 when he signed for Arsenal de Sarandí, making his debut in the Primera División at the age of 27.[1]
Tabares moved to Spain in January 2006, joining Segunda División club CD Castellón[2] and scoring 20 league goals over his first two full seasons.[3] After four years with the team, being reunited with compatriot Leonardo Ulloa in his final two[4][5] and suffering relegation in 2010 (he also spent several months on the sidelines after fracturing both his fibula and his tibia twice),[6][7] he went back to his country and signed with Primera Nacional side Chacarita Juniors.[8]
In January 2011, Tabares agreed to a contract with Primera B de Chile's Rangers de Talca,[9] achieving promotion to Primera División.[1] Following a spell in the Argentine lower leagues with Juventud Antoniana, he returned to the Valencian Community where he represented several amateur clubs.[10]
Tabares settled in Castellón de la Plana after retiring at age 40.[1]
