Club career

San Salvador FC

Maldonado's professional career began on July 3, 2007 when he signed a contract with now defunct Salvadoran national league club, San Salvador FC. He was one of six players from the El Salvador U17 national team, that would sign for San Salvador that season. The others were Ricardo Orellana, Diego Chavarría, Xavier García, Óscar Arroyo and Fabricio Alfaro.

He first gained the attention of league teams as a member of the 2006–2007 El Salvador U17 national team, where he showed a lot of potential, with his creative passing, speed and exceptional free kicks.

He made his professional debut on September 23, 2007, in a league match against Alianza, and scored his first goal on October 7 that same year in a match against FAS. His second goal came four months later on February 20 in a 2–2 away draw against Chalatenango.

Return to FAS

In May 2017, Maldonado signed again with FAS for the Apertura 2017. With FAS, Maldonado reached the semi-finals of the Apertura 2018, but they were defeated by Alianza.

In December 2018, FAS did not renew Maldonado's contract.

International career

Maldonado made his debut, aged only 17, for El Salvador in a November 2007 friendly match against Jamaica, coming on as a late sub for Shawn Martin. The match has been his only senior international so far.
