Club career

Born in Caracas, Pinto was a Caracas FC youth graduate. After making his senior debut with the reserves, he made his first team debut on 10 November 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 home draw against Deportivo Petare. In March 2014, after impressing in 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, he had an 11-day trial at Arsenal.[1][2]

Pinto scored his first professional goal on 19 November 2014, netting his team's only in a 1–2 away loss against Zamora FC. He was given his first start late in the month, in a 0–0 draw at Llaneros de Guanare.

In January 2016 Pinto moved abroad, signing for Elche CF.[3] However, due to bureaucratic problems, he was only registered in August, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[4]

Pinto made his first team debut on 7 September 2016, replacing Liberto Beltrán in a 2–2 Copa del Rey away draw against CD Mirandés, as his side went through on penalties.[5] The following 14 August, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Ontinyent CF.[6]

On 29 August 2018, Pinto moved to another reserve team, Cádiz CF B in the fourth tier.[7]
