Born in Concepción, Paraguay, Godoy began his career with Atlético Tembetary, before moving to Spain in 2008 to sign for Espanyol.[1] After his release in July 2012, he attracted offers from numerous Spanish sides, and was close to signing with Málaga, but ultimately decided to join Barcelona.[1] While at Barcelona, he trained with the first team on numerous occasions.[2]

His contract with Barcelona expired on 30 June 2014, and a month later he returned to Paraguay to sign for Olimpia.[3] [4] [5] After two appearances for Olimpia, he was loaned to Rubio Ñu in 2015.[6]

After leaving Olimpia, Godoy played for Tacuary FBC and Atlético Colegiales, and was playing at Nanawa in Concepción in 2019.[7] He also featured for 29 de Setiembre in 2019.[8]
