Club career

Born in San Pedro Sula, Toro joined FC Sion's youth setup in 2014, from Barcelona-based Fundación Marcet. On 22 January 2015 he joined Gil Vicente FC,[1] being promoted to the first team in June.[2]

Toro made his professional debut on 8 August 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Simeon Nwankwo in a 1–1 home draw against CD Mafra. On 28 January 2017, after appearing sparingly, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Arandina CF until June.[3]

Upon returning, Toro became a regular starter and scored his first professional goal on 28 October 2017 by netting the opener in a 4–0 home routing of SL Benfica B.[4] He finished the campaign with three goals in 37 appearances, but his side eventually suffered relegation.

On 9 July 2018, Toro signed for La Liga side SD Huesca,[5] but was loaned to Varzim SC on 10 August.[6] The following 30 January he was recalled by his parent club,[7] and moved to Académica de Coimbra the following day, also in a temporary deal.[8] On 19 July, he moved to C.D. Tondela on a season long loan.[9][10]

After terminating his contract with Huesca, Toro signed for LigaPro club G.D. Chaves on 7 October 2020.[11][12]

International career

Toro was included in the provisional squad for Honduras in the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but was dropped from the final squad.[13][14]

Toro made his international debut on 5 September 2019, in a friendly with Puerto Rico, scoring a goal and providing two assists in a 4–0 win.
