Career

Having debuted in Torneo Argentino C with Peña Azul y Oro, Sepúlveda headed to Torneo Argentino B outfit Sol de Mayo in 2013.[3][4] Midway through the year, the forward moved across the division to Atlético Regina.[4] He scored five goals in nineteen matches for them, before departing to rejoin Sol de Mayo for the 2014 and 2015 campaigns; where he took his overall tally for the club to twenty-three goals in twenty-nine fixtures.[4] Sepúlveda left during the latter campaign, as he penned terms with Torneo Federal A's Juventud Unida Universitario.[4] He debuted in a 1–1 draw with Independiente de Chivilcoy on 24 March 2015.[2]

After scoring his first goals for El Juve on 19 April in a 3–0 victory over Defensores de Belgrano, he went on to net three further times as they gained promotion.[2] Ahead of January 2016, Sepúlveda signed a contract with fellow third tier team Deportivo Roca.[2] He appeared seven times for Río Negro Province club, scoring once in a 4–1 loss away to Villa Mitre on 7 February.[2] Sepúlveda returned to tier four, now known as Torneo Federal B, in June 2016 to join Estudiantes of Río Cuarto.[5][6] Four goals in eighteen games came in his first season with El Celeste, as they secured promotion to Torneo Federal A for 2017–18.[4][7]

Sepúlveda netted seventeen goals in two seasons in the third tier for Estudiantes, which culminated with the club securing a second promotion in four seasons as they won the 2018–19 title.[2] He scored on his Primera B Nacional debut against Temperley on 16 August 2019, which was followed by October strikes against Guillermo Brown and Alvarado.[2][8] On 1 December, Sepúlveda scored a hat-trick in a win away to Deportivo Morón.[2] After scoring four from eight starts in 2020, Sepúlveda was signed on loan by Primera División side Arsenal de Sarandí in February 2021 for the rest of the year.[9][10][11] He made his debut on 19 February versus Banfield.[12]

On 15 January 2022, Sepúlveda joined Barracas Central on a paid loan deal with a purchase option, until the end of 2022.[13]
