Career

González began playing for All Boys in 2008, remaining for two years.[3] 2010 saw him join General Lamadrid, which preceded spells with Atlanta, Deportivo Español and Ferro Carril Oeste.[3][4] In 2014, González made four appearances for Regatas in Torneo Argentino B.[5] He was on the move soon after, signing contracts with San Jorge and Unión Aconquija.[3][5] Torneo Federal B's Villa Mitre signed González in 2015.[5] Four goals in thirty-seven fixtures followed across 2015 and the succeeding 2016 Torneo Federal A season after promotion.[5] He made his debut for Estudiantes in September 2016 versus Villa San Carlos, after joining in June.[1]

González had a short spell with Pacífico in 2017, prior to joining Argentine Primera División side Tigre in July 2017.[6][7] However, he was loaned out to Acassuso of Primera B Metropolitana in the following months.[1][8] He was selected in two encounters for Acassuso during 2017–18 as they reached the promotion play-offs, where they were eliminated by UAI Urquiza.[1] After then returning to Tigre, González left Argentine football for the first time in 2018 after signing for Costa Rica's San Carlos of Liga FPD.[1] He signed with Norwegian 2. divisjon club Egersunds IK on 19 January 2019.[9][10] His bow came in an away win against Vidar on 22 April.[1]

González netted his first Egersunds IK goal on 18 May in a 4–0 league win over Sola.[1][11] After nine appearances for the Norwegians, as well as three for their reserve team in the 4. divisjon, González switched Norway for Italy by agreeing contract terms with Serie D's Fasano.[12][13] He scored one goal in twenty-five matches for the club, as they placed eighth in a campaign that ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] On 12 August 2020, González moved across the division to Taranto.[14]
