Career edit

Gimnasia y Esgrima of La Plata were Flores' opening senior career club, they had signed him from Academia Ernesto Duchini.[3] He didn't appear in the Primera División but was a professional with them for three years.[4] 2008 saw Flores join Argentino of Torneo Argentino B.[4] Six appearances followed.[4] Concepción del Uruguay's Gimnasia y Esgrima became his third employers in 2009, he went on to score three times - one in each of his three seasons - across seventy-six fixtures for the club.[4] Boca Unidos (Primera B Nacional) and Guillermo Brown (Torneo Argentino A) stints subsequently occurred, along with five goals.[1]

After spending the 2014 campaign in tier four with Las Palmas, Flores joined Gimnasia y Tiro in January 2015.[1][4] Flores was sent off on his first start for Gimnasia y Tiro, prior to netting goals against Altos Hornos Zapla and Alvarado in the 2015 Torneo Federal A.[1] Guillermo Brown of Primera B Nacional resigned Flores at the end of that season, with him remaining until August 2017 when he departed to sign for Villa Dálmine.[1][5] Ten months later, Flores moved to fellow second tier team Instituto.[1][6] He made his debut on 31 August 2018 during a home defeat to Agropecuario.[1][7] He'd leave after two seasons there.[1]

Mitre became Flores' tenth different club in August 2020.[8][9]
