Career

Cárdenas grew up playing baseball as a child, as was common in his hometown of Guaymas, but he began playing football at the age of 12.[1] He was discovered by Santos Laguna scouts while playing in a national tournament, and immediately joined their youth ranks.[1] In a span of two years, Cárdenas progressed from the under-17 squad to the senior team.[1] He made his professional debut for Santos on 19 August 2012, coming on for Darwin Quintero in a 2–1 league defeat to Pumas UNAM.[2]

Cárdenas was loaned out to Calor de Gómez Palacio in January 2014.[3] After parting ways with Santos Laguna, he joined Pioneros de Cancún for six months.[1]

Cárdenas returned to his home state when he joined Cimarrones de Sonora in 2015. In his first game as a starter, he scored a hat-trick to secure a 3–1 win against Estudiantes Tecos.[4][5]

He played with Acaxees de Durango of the Liga de Balompié Mexicano during the league's inaugural season in 2020–21.[6]
