Club career

Águila

Carranza began his career through the Águila youth system.

During his early career, he has won three national league titles with Águila (Apertura 2000, Clausura 2001 and Clausura 2006), and won a gold medal with El Salvador national team during the football matches of the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games.

After winning the championship in 2006 he was called for play with the El Salvador national team, but he did not accept.

He had a chance to be in the national team again in 2008, but he had a minor abdominal pain that prevented him.

ADI F.C.

Juventud Independiente

In 2012 Carranza signed with Juventud Independiente.

UES

In 2013, he signed with UES. During his time in UES, Carranza had become team captain due to contributing in important moments during his time for the club. However, during those years, UES was in administration which cause the club to suffer arrears in salary payments, and coupled with Carranza losing presence in his matches, he finally left the team in 2016.

C.D. Aspirante

After leaving the UES, Carranza had a very short stint with Aspirante.

C.D. Dragón

Carranza signed with C.D. Dragón for the Clausura 2017 tournament. The team of San Miguel also suffered many administrative, economic and sports problems. Carranza ended up leaving the team months later.

International career

His final international game was an August 2004 friendly match against Honduras.
