Career edit

Born in Maldonado, Sigales began playing professional football with local Uruguayan second division club Atenas de San Carlos. The forward appeared in 67 league matches, scoring 15 goals, for Atenas until leaving in 2016.[3]

On 27 June 2016, Argentine first division side Godoy Cruz de Mendoza signed Sigales to a three-year contract. He became the second Uruguayan player in the team joining compatriot Santiago "Morro" García.[3] Sigales scored the only goal as Godoy Cruz defeated Huracán in the first match of the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División season.[4] However, after Godoy Cruz suffered a 0–1 home defeat in the 2017 Copa Libertadores round of 16, the club fired manager Lucas Bernardi. In the aftermath Sigales was one of several players to leave the club, joining Uruguayan side Boston River on a one-year loan.[5][6]

On 10 January 2020, Sigales moved to Mexican club Correcaminos UAT.[7]
