Career

Puerto Nuevo were Dorregaray's first youth club, which was followed by stints with Defensores de La Esperanza, Villa Dálmine and Boca Juniors before rejoining Puerto Nuevo.[2] His senior career began with the latter in 2007 aged fifteen, appearing locally before playing in the 2009–10 Primera D Metropolitana.[3] They were relegated in 2010–11, before being promoted back for 2014; taking his league record for Puerto Nuevo to twenty-five games and four goals.[3]

2015 saw Dorregaray join fellow Primera D Metropolitana team Sportivo Barracas. Twelve goals in twenty-seven followed, as they won promotion to tier four. In July 2016, he signed for Atlanta.[1] He subsequently scored in ten separate matches in Primera B Metropolitana.[1]

On 8 July 2017, Dorregaray joined Ecuadorian Serie A side Guayaquil City. He made his debut on 14 July against Deportivo Cuenca, which preceded his first goal arriving during a 1–1 draw with Emelec at the Estadio Christian Benítez Betancourt. Further goals came against El Nacional, Clan Juvenil, Universidad Católica and L.D.U. Quito as Guayaquil City finished ninth in the second stage. Dorregaray departed midway through the following campaign, having netted three more times for them in 2018.

He returned to Argentina with Defensores de Belgrano in July 2018.[4] In the following January, he joined Técnico Universitario back in Ecuador.[5] [6] Dorregaray scored seven goals, which included one on debut versus Universidad Católica, across two seasons.

On 4 July 2020, he signed with fellow Ecuadorian club Deportivo Cuenca on a free transfer,[7] where he scored 21 goals in one and a half seasons before joining Egyptian Premier League club Ismaily SC.[8] After less than a semester, Dorregaray rescinded his contract and moved to Cypriot club Nea Salamina, where he scored 27 goals in one and a half seasons.[9] In December 2023, Dorregaray was signed by Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes.[10]
