EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE
In 2009 he moved from Ecuador to Europe, first joining French club Bayard Argentan before playing for German clubs Zugbrucke Grenzau, 1. FC Koln, Borussia Dortmund and TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt. "To be fair, if I had stayed in Ecuador I don't know if I would have kept playing table tennis because it is very complicated to develop to a high performance player. I'm pretty sure I might have already retired." (eluniverso.com, 27 Dec 2016; albertomino.com, 2020)
