Club career
editEarly years
editBorn in Bigand in the Caseros Department of Santa Fe Province, Dituro began his career with Independiente and had a loan with Almagro. After playing for CNI in the Peruvian Primera División in 2010, he signed for Alavés of the Spanish Segunda División B in January 2011. That August, he moved to Celta Vigo on a one-year deal with the option of one more, being assigned to the B-team.[1]
Dituro's place at third-tier Celta B was taken by youngster Rubén Blanco halfway through the season.[2] He had one call-up for the first team in Segunda División in the penultimate game of the season on 27 May 2012, a 2–1 win at Gimnàstic de Tarragona. He returned to his homeland later that year, at Douglas Haig in the Primera B Nacional,[3] and Guillermo Brown of the Torneo Federal A in July 2013.[4]
Bolivia and Chile
editDituro then moved to the Bolivian Primera División, with Cochabamba-based Aurora and Jorge Wilstermann. He scored four penalties for the latter.[5]
Following a spell in the Chilean Primera División with Antofagasta, Dituro returned to Bolivia in January 2017 with Bolívar.[6] On 23 April, he scored from his own goal at the end of a 3–1 home win over San José.[5] He went back to Chile in January 2018 on loan to Universidad Católica for a US$250,000 fee.[7][8]
Celta de Vigo
editOn 8 July 2021, Dituro joined La Liga side Celta de Vigo on loan for the 2021–22 season with an option to make the deal permanent. He was signed by compatriot Eduardo Coudet to replace the retired Sergio Álvarez,[9] and started ahead of Blanco who was still at the club.[1] In his second match for Celta on 23 August, he saved a penalty from Rubén García and kept a clean sheet as the club drew 0–0 with Osasuna.[10]
Elche
editAfter a stint with Turkish club Fatih Karagümrük, he returned to Spain and joined Elche in 2024.[11]
Personal life
