Club career

Early career

He then transferred to Argentine Primera División side Colón de Santa Fe, where he played for one year. Subsequently, Aguilar played for San Luis of the Mexican Primera División, before joining Argentine Primera's side Arsenal de Sarandí.

América
On 18 December 2013, it was announced that Aguilar was transferred to Club América, with the announcement being made on the club's Twitter account.
On 8 March 2017, during the Copa MX round-of-16 match against Tijuana, Aguilar headbutted referee Fernando Hernández. Despite initially being given a ten-game suspension, a strike by the referee's association protesting the punishments of Aguilar and Enrique Triverio of Toluca ultimately led to a revised year-long ban for Aguilar from any official football activity. On 31 March, it was reported that both Aguilar and Triverio would appeal their bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

In the summer of 2018, Aguilar officially became a player for Cruz Azul. On July 21, 2018, Aguilar debuted in a 3-0 victory against Puebla and played the 90 minutes.
