Career

Ramírez began in the youth ranks of Guadalajara, notably featuring for the U15s and U20s.[2] Ramírez had a trial with Premier League side Manchester City in August 2013, which led to the midfielder signing a pre-contract agreement.[3][4] However, due to injuries, he didn't join Manchester City.[4] In 2018, Ramírez was loaned to Ascenso MX team Zacatepec.[2] He made his professional debut on 15 August 2018 in the Copa MX versus Cruz Azul, he was substituted on for the second half of a 2–0 defeat.[1] Ramírez returned to Guadalajara in December, before departing to join El Paso Locomotive of the USL Championship.[5][6]

Ramírez went back to Guadalajara on 24 May 2019, after no appearances for El Paso Locomotive; only making the substitutes bench twice for fixtures with Phoenix Rising and Austin Bold.[1][7] Ramírez subsequently had two further loan spells away across the next twelve moves, initially joining Tecos before heading off to Murciélagos; both being Liga Premier clubs.[2][8] After a total of eight appearances, he'd return to Guadalajara.[8] In mid-2020, Ramírez joined fellow third tier side Durango.[9]
