Eryc Leonel Castillo Arroyo

Castillo's career has been a long orbit that finally settled in Lima. He came through Independiente del Valle's system, going out on loan to Liga de Loja in 2013 and to C.D. Olmedo in 2014 before joining Barcelona S.C. in 2015, where he won the Ecuadorian Serie A title in 2016. A move to Club Tijuana in 2018 took him into Mexican football, with further loan spells at Santos Laguna and F.C. Juárez, before he returned to Barcelona S.C. in 2022. A year at S.D. Aucas followed in 2023, then a switch to Brazil in early 2024 with E.C. Vitória, where he won the Campeonato Baiano, and a loan to Coritiba F.B.C. for the rest of that year.

He joined Alianza Lima as a free agent in January 2025 on a one-year contract, later extended in October 2025 through to 2028. The move has worked out well: by August 2026 he had scored 27 goals in 66 appearances across all competitions for the club, and he finished as the top scorer of the 2026 Liga 1 season with 14 goals.

At international level, Castillo has earned four caps and scored one goal. Earlier in his career, he also took a silver medal at the 2013 Bolivarian Games.
