Career

Early career

Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Castillón finished his formation with Argentino de Rosario. He made his senior debut for the club, appearing in Primera C.

In 2006 Castillón joined Tiro Federal, freshly relegated to Primera B Nacional. He was a regular starter for the club during the following four seasons, scoring a career-best five goals in the 2009–10 season.

On 7 July 2010, Castillón signed for Club Olimpo, newly promoted to Primera División.[1] He made his debut in the category on 8 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Banfield.

On 31 July 2011, Castillón moved to Godoy Cruz also in the first division.[2] He scored his first goal in the main category on 27 September, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Newell's Old Boys.

Racing Club

In August 2014, Castillón agreed to a contract with fellow league team Racing Club, for a 10 million pesos fee.[3] He made his debut for the club 10 August, in a 3–1 win at Defensa y Justicia, and scored his first goal in a 2–0 home success over San Lorenzo seven days later.

After being rarely used during the 2015 campaign, Castillón was loaned to Banfield until the end of the year.[4] He was subsequently loaned to Gimnasia La Plata and later to Spanish side Getafe.[5]
