Early life
Raised by a single mother who had to work two jobs, Chamorro was travelling 40km a day to train. Therefore he moved at twelve years-old closer to the capital to pursue his dream of becoming a footballer.[1]

Having joined their academy at fourteen years-old, Chamorro made his debut as a seventeen year-old for A.D. Carmelita against Santos de Guápiles F.C. in a 1-1 draw on 22 February 2018.[2][3] Within a few weeks he had become a regular in the side that season.[4]

In the summer of 2024, Chamorro was sent on a season-long loan with an optional buy-clause to Portuguese Primeira Liga club Estoril.[10] At the end of the season, having made just five appearances for the Canaries, he returned to Saprissa.[11]
