Career edit

Godoy Cruz were the first club of Aracena's career.[2] He was contracted with them between 2005 and 2013 but didn't make a senior league appearance, spending the vast majority of his time out on loan.[1] Aracena's opening loan spell was to Gimnasia y Esgrima of Torneo Argentino A, where he featured three times in 2007.[2] A stint with fellow third tier Sportivo Italiano followed three years later in 2010, which preceded Aracena joining Primera B Nacional's 9 de Julio midway through the year on 30 June.[1] No appearances were made for either of the two teams.[2] Deportivo Maipú loaned Aracena in January 2011.[1][3]

Having appeared in seven fixtures for Deportivo Maipú, Aracena sealed a return to Gimnasia y Esgrima on 30 June 2011.[2] Twelve months after, Aracena signed his final loan away from Godoy Cruz by moving to Deportivo Guaymallén.[1] He remained for two years in Torneo Argentino B/Torneo Federal B, making a total of forty-nine appearances.[2] On 28 February 2014, Aracena agreed to join Gutiérrez.[1] Gutiérrez won promotion to Torneo Federal A in his first campaign.[2] January 2016 saw Aracena complete a free transfer to Independiente Rivadavia.[1][4] He made his professional bow in February versus Instituto.[1][5][6]
