Early career

Born in Montevideo, Piñatares began his career with Baby Fútbol Dryco. He later played for Nacional before joining Rentistas, where he finished his formation.[1]

Piñatares made his first team debut 2007, at the age of 16; his side was eventually relegated from Primera División at the end of the campaign. He would later feature more regularly in the following years, in Segunda División.

Portuguesa

On 11 July 2014, Piñatares moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Campeonato Brasileiro Série B side Portuguesa.[3] He featured regularly during the 2014 Série B, suffering relegation, but lost his starting spot in the 2015 Campeonato Paulista and subsequently left the club in May 2015.[4]

Cerro

In June 2015, Piñatares returned to his home country after agreeing to a contract with Cerro in the first division. He was a regular starter as his side qualified to the 2017 Copa Libertadores.

River Plate Montevideo

In July 2017, Piñatares returned to Uruguay to play for River Plate Montevideo, also in the top tier.[7] An immediate starter, he only missed one match during the season, as his side finished in a mid-table position.

Delfín
