On 6 January 2020, Rivera was signed to Bolivian club Aurora.[2] He made his Aurora debut in January 2020 in a 4–0 win over Real Potosi, he would end up scoring a goal in his third game against Jorge Wilstermann. He would make 12 appearances and score 3 goals, before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
On 10 June 2020, he signed a one-year contract extension to remain in Bolivia.[3]
On 15 August 2022, Rivera was banned from all football until October 5, 2025 due to testing positive for clostebol – a synthetic derivative of a muscle-building steroid that the body naturally produces in larger amounts in men – following after a 3-0 loss to Canada on September 8, 2021 [4]
