Aguirre's career began with Boca Juniors.[1] He made his professional debut during the 2008–09 Argentine Primera División season, being substituted on at half-time of a victory away to Colón on 4 July 2009.[1] Aguirre was loaned to Nacional of the Uruguayan Primera División in 2010, though returned to Boca Juniors soon after without featuring.[3][4] 2011 saw Ben Hur sign Aguirre on loan.[3] He was selected in one fixture in Torneo Argentino B while there.[3] A third loan was confirmed on 30 June 2011, with Aguirre joining Primera B Nacional's Aldosivi.[1][5] Fourteen appearances followed, before Aldosivi signed him permanently.[1]
In July 2014, Aguirre moved to Independiente Rivadavia having scored one goal, versus Deportivo Merlo, in forty-six matches as a full Aldosivi player.[1] His first appearance arrived during a home draw with Atlético Tucumán on 29 August.[1] June 2016 saw Aguirre switch Argentina for Malta as he signed with reigning Premier League champions Valletta.[1][6] His bow came in a UEFA Champions League qualifier with B36 Tórshavn, who they beat over two legs before being eliminated by Red Star Belgrade.[1] He netted goals across the 2016–17 campaign against Balzan, Hamrun Spartans, Pembroke Athleta and Tarxien Rainbows.[1]
Aguirre returned to his homeland with Gimnasia y Esgrima in August 2017.[1][7] They won promotion from Torneo Federal A in his first season, as he went on to make forty-six appearances and score three goals in all competitions across the next two campaigns as a Primera B Nacional club.[1] On 20 September 2020, Aguirre headed back to Maltese football for a second stint with Valletta.[8][9] He scored on his competitive debut against Birkirkara a day later.[1]
