Career

Puerto Nuevo were Dorregaray's first youth club, which was followed by stints with Defensores de La Esperanza, Villa Dálmine and Boca Juniors before rejoining Puerto Nuevo.[2] His senior career began with the latter in 2007 aged fifteen, appearing locally before playing in the 2009–10 Primera D Metropolitana.[3] They were relegated in 2010–11, before being promoted back for 2014; taking his league record for Puerto Nuevo to twenty-five games and four goals.[3]

2015 saw Dorregaray join fellow Primera D Metropolitana team Sportivo Barracas.[3] Twelve goals in twenty-seven followed, as they won promotion to tier four.[3] In July 2016, he signed for Atlanta.[1] He subsequently scored in ten separate matches in Primera B Metropolitana.[1]

On 8 July 2017, Dorregaray joined Ecuadorian Serie A side Guayaquil City.[1] He made his debut on 14 July against Deportivo Cuenca, which preceded his first goal arriving during a 1–1 draw with Emelec at the Estadio Christian Benítez Betancourt.[1] Further goals came against El Nacional, Clan Juvenil, Universidad Católica and L.D.U. Quito as Guayaquil City finished ninth in the second stage.[1][2] Dorregaray departed midway through the following campaign, having netted three more times for them in 2018.[1]

He returned to Argentina with Defensores de Belgrano in July 2018.[1][4] In the following January, he joined Técnico Universitario back in Ecuador.[5][6] Dorregaray scored seven goals, which included one on debut versus Universidad Católica, across two seasons.[1]

On 4 July 2020, he signed with fellow Ecuadorian club Deportivo Cuenca on a free transfer,[7] where he scored 21 goals in one and a half seasons before joining Egyptian Premier League club Ismaily SC.[8] After less than a semester, Dorregaray rescinded his contract and moved to Cypriot club Nea Salamina, where he scored 27 goals in one and a half seasons.[9] In December 2023, Dorregaray was signed by Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes.[10]
