Guruceaga played all his career for Peñarol. He made his professional debut in club football in the first game of the 2015–16 Uruguayan Primera División season against Cerro at Estadio Centenario in a 3–0 win for his team.[1] Peñarol won the Uruguayan Primera División that year.
In the following season and due to the last minute departure to Italian side Fiorentina of planned to be captain of the team Maximiliano Olivera, Guruceaga was chosen to be the captain of Peñarol by the manager Jorge da Silva with only 21 years.[2]
On 24 January 2018, Guruceaga was loaned to Paraguayan club Guaraní for one year.[3]
He represented Uruguay on the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship held in Uruguay between 14 January and 7 February and where the local team with Guruceaga starting every game of the tournament, finished third qualifying for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Guruceaga was named best goalkeeper of the tournament.[4]
He was selected to represent the national team in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup later that year where he also was the starting goalkeeper on all the four games Uruguay played on the tournament.
Guruceaga was named in Uruguay's provisional squad for Copa América Centenario but was cut from the final squad.[5]
