Club career

C.D. Guadalajara

He debuted on April 1, 2005 in the Chivas' loss against CF UAG 3-2, but was praised by the then coach Benjamín Galindo. After the loss of 6 players before the FIFA World Cup 2006, Chivas played with a lot of young players, some of them with absolutely no experience in First Division and they managed to reach the semifinals, losing to C.F. Pachuca with a last minute goal.

"El Gauchito" capped his first goal in the Liguilla (Playoffs) of the Clausura 2006 against Chiapas FC. In Apertura 2006, he only played 86 minutes in 3 games. He often played for CD Guadalajara's Lower Division club team CD Tapatío. While Efrain Flores was coach he started every game and contributed to his team's efforts with seven goals.

Sergio Avila's last season with Chivas was the Apertura 2010 season.
