Club career

Alianza Petrolera

Castro began his career at Alianza Petrolera, debuting on 17 October 2013 in a 1–0 Copa Colombia defeat Atlético Nacional as a 63rd minute substitute for Dairon Asprilla.[1] He made his league debut three days later, again as a substitute, in a 2–0 defeat to Cúcuta Deportivo.[2] Castro scored his first senior goal on 9 April 2015, the opening goal in a 2–2 league draw with La Equidad.[3]

Deportivo Cali

In June 2017, Castro completed a transfer to Deportivo Cali.[4] He made his debut for the team on 8 July 2017 in a 4–2 win over Envigado and appeared in a continental competition for the first a week later, in the second round of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana against Junior.[5]

After half a season with Los Azucareros, Castro spent the next two campaigns on loan, returning to Alianza Petrolera in 2018 before another loan spell, this time to fellow Primera A team Deportes Tolima, in 2019. The loan deal contained the option to purchase Castro at the end of the season but in December 2019, Deportivo Cali released a statement announcing Tolima had declined the option. They did, however, admit that Castro's "future will be discussed" as he continued to express a desire to leave, particularly as he wanted to play abroad.[6][7][8]

Cruz Azul

On 24 January 2020, Castro signed a three-year contract with Liga MX team Cruz Azul.[9]
