Club career

Born in Buenos Aires, Cardona was a San Lorenzo youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 21 May 2015, starting and scoring his team's third in a 3–0 Copa Argentina home win against Viale FC María Grande.[1][2]

On 20 January 2016, Cardona was loaned to fellow Primera División side Defensa y Justicia for six months.[3] He made his top tier debut on 7 February by playing the last 26 minutes in a 2–2 home draw against Unión de Santa Fe, and scored his first goal in the category on 4 March by netting the opener in a 5–1 away routing of Argentinos Juniors.

Cardona's loan was later extended for the 2016–17 season, and he later signed for Godoy Cruz on 24 July 2017.[4] He later became a regular starter at the club.

Cardona moved abroad on 27 August 2020, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Spanish Segunda División side UD Las Palmas.[5]

On 6 July 2021, Cardona joined Defensa y Justicia on a deal until the end of 2024.[6]
