Club career

Born in Olivos, Buenos Aires, Pumpido did not appear for any youth setups due to his studying responsibilities. His first senior club was Tigre, in Primera División.

Pumpido made his professional debut on 16 May 2009, coming on as a late substitute for Carlos Luna in a 2–1 home win against Colón; it was his maiden appearance for the club. He subsequently moved to Primera B Nacional side Independiente Rivadavia, scoring his first professional goal while at the club.

In 2011 Pumpido joined Huracán de Tres Arroyos in Torneo Argentino A, after being rarely used. On 5 January of the following year he agreed to a contract at Acassuso in Primera B Metropolitana,[1] being a regular starter during his time at the club.

On 24 January 2015 Pumpido was loaned to San Martín de San Juan in the top tier, for one year.[2] On 7 January of the following year he moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a six-month deal with Spanish Segunda División B side Racing de Santander.[3]

Personal life

Pumpido's uncle, Nery was also a footballer: a goalkeeper, he was an international with Argentina on more than 30 occasions.[4]
