Club career

Born in Santiago, Saavedra began his professional career in the 2008 season with Palestino.[2] Saavedra went on trial with Spanish giants Real Madrid in January 2009,[3] but a move never materialised. Instead, he moved on loan to Brazil's Vitória for the 2009 season, but after failing to appear for his new club,[4] he signed on loan for São Paulo. Saavedra never appeared for São Paulo either, and began the 2010 season on loan at a third Brazilian club, Atlético Goianiense.[5]

On 12 December 2012, he is signed for Audax Italiano for the 2013 season.[6]

In March 2021 he signed with Dominican club San Cristóbal.[7]
