Austin FC have loaned winger Cecilio Dominguez to Paraguayan side Club Guarani, the club announced Tuesday.

“We’re pleased to see Cecilio going on loan to Club Guarani in the Paraguayan Primera Division through the end of 2020,” Austin FC Sporting Director Claudio Reyna said in a statement. “Having him and Rodney Redes competing for the same club ahead of their move to Austin in 2021 is excellent.

In 2016, he transferred to Club America in Liga MX, going on to accumulate 74 league and cup appearances and 21 goals. He was also crowned Liga MX Apertura Champion in 2018. In 2019, Domínguez was signed by Argentina’s Club Atletico Independiente, becoming the club’s record signing. To date in his professional career, Dominguez has scored 73 goals in 288 club appearances.
