Club career

Herediano

Contreras joined C.S. Herediano in 2015, after he was spotted by a scout in a game for a club in Zapote, at the age of 15.[2][3] He then went on a trial at the club and then joined the club permanently. Before that, Contreras had never played for a club.

23 months after joining Herediano, on 15 January 2017, he got his official debut for the club in the Liga FPD against Belén FC at the age of 16.[4] Contreras started on the bench, coming on as a substitute for Heyreel Saravia in the 90th minute. This game was his only appearance in the 2017-18 season. In the following season, he only made one appearance, while he made zero in the 2018-19 season. To gain some experience, he was loaned out to La U Universitarios in the summer 2019 for the rest of the year, where he played 20 games as scored six goals.

On 13 December 2019 it was confirmed, that Contreras would be playing the rest of the 2019-20 season on loan for Municipal Grecia, as well as six other players that Grecia had loaned from Herediano.[5][6] Contreras played 15 games and scores six goals for the club.

Herediano annunced in June 2020, that Contreras had returned to the club.[7][8] Contreras participated in the teams pre-season and was also on the bench for a cup game in August 2020. However, on 15 September 2020, he was sent out on loan for the third time, this time to Guadalupe FC for the rest of 2020.[9]

International career

In November 2019, Contreras was called up for the Costa Rican national team's pre-squad.[10][11]

Contreras was also a part of the Costa Rican U23 national team that was called up for the 2020 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship in March 2020.[12]
