Career
Domínguez began his professional career with Vélez Sarsfield, where he won the Copa Libertadores in 1994. He played the 1998/1999 season with Spanish Espanyol, but returned to Vélez to play until 2002. That year he moved to Independiente.
Domínguez joined Mexican Santos Laguna after playing the first half of the 2003/2004 season with Spanish Second Division Leganés. Joining Santos for the 2004 Clausura, Domínguez immediately became an important player, starting 15 of 19 games for the club and scoring one goal. He repeated his performance in the Apertura of that year, appearing in 13 games and scoring twice.
Between 2004 and 2007 Domínguez played for River Plate and he played for Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata between 2007 and 2008.
In 2008, he joined Cypriot side Apollon Limassol, where he played 3 matches before leaving citing personal reasons. He returned to South America to join Nacional of Uruguay.
In 2009, he was signed by new Argentinos Juniors manager Claudio Borghi and became an important member of the Argentinos Juniors team that won the Clausura 2010 championship. He played in 15 of the club's 19 games during their championship winning campaign and was one of the few players in the team to have any previous championship winning experience.
