Career edit
Montevideo Wanderers edit
Rivas began his professional career with Montevideo Wanderers in late 2012, making his debut for the club in a 3–0 victory over Racing Club on 11 November 2012.[2] Over six seasons with the club, he made over 50 league appearances.
Liverpool (Montevideo) edit
In January 2018, Rivas moved to Montevideo-based Liverpool. After featuring frequently in 2018, Rivas stated that his goals for his second season with the club were to fight for trophies, although the idea of fighting for a championship was more of an "illusion."[3] In June 2020, after spending the first half of the season out with a knee injury, Rivas' contract expired.[4]
Juazeirense edit
In January 2021, after a half-year without a club, Rivas joined Brazilian club Juazeirense.[5] He made one single Série D appearance for the club, against Itabaiana, in his five months with the club.[6] In June 2021, his contract with the club ended.[7]
Personal life edit
Rivas has triple citizenship: Uruguayan (where he was born), Brazilian (through his mother), and Italian (through his great-grandfather).[5]
