Career

Delgado started life in senior football with Guaraní Antonio Franco; signing from Boca Juniors.[1] [4] He featured six times in Torneo Federal A, including for his debut against Sol de América on 7 February 2016.[3] Delgado moved to Barracas Central on 2 September.[3] One goal, in an April draw versus Tristán Suárez, in eleven matches subsequently occurred.[3] Primera División team Temperley signed Delgado in July 2017.[3] His first goal for them arrived on 27 April in a win away to Chacarita Juniors, though he was later sent off in the game.[3] He returned on 12 May for a match with Belgrano, netting in a win as they were relegated.[3]

In March 2019, Delgado joined Latvian Higher League side FK Liepāja; terminating his Temperley contract to do so.[5] [6] [7] His first goal came during his second appearance, as he netted in a victory away from home versus FK Jelgava on 5 April.[3] A further goal, against Daugavpils, occurred across twelve games, prior to Delgado mutually ending his contract in early June; exercising a clause that was inserted back in March.[8] Delgado then headed off to Nacional Potosí of the Bolivian Primera División.[9] [10] He'd make just seven appearances, of which only two were starts, before departing at the end of the year.[3]

In September 2020, following months of inactivity after a failed move to Swedish football and the COVID-19 pandemic, Delgado returned to Argentina with Primera B Metropolitana's Fénix.[11] [12] [13]
