However, he then made the shift to play for Portuario and would achieve their victory in the 1978–79 Honduran Segunda División.[1] He only spent a single season in the Liga Nacional, scoring a single goal before the club was relegated following the 1979–80 Honduran Liga Nacional.[2] He spent the rest of his career with Platense until their relegation in the 1981–82 Honduran Liga Nacional and retired following the season's conclusion.
