[edit]

He made his professional debut on 19 October 1997 for Alajuelense against Puntarenas and also scored his first goal against Puntarenas on 15 November 1998,[2] but was rumoured to be kicked off of the team for apparently drinking problems (which he denies).

He has played as left back or left midfielder and dribbles and crosses well, he also has good passing skills.

In January 2007 he signed on a free deal for Norwegian first division club, FK Haugesund, but left the club in January 2008 due to the family did not want to stay in Norway.[4] He decided to go back to Costa Rica after a good season in Norway, and signed for his beloved team, Alajuelense.[5] As soon as he signed, he became a regular in the starting line-up. In June 2010 he left them for Puntarenas[6] and he later played for Brujas.

In summer 2011 he had a very short stint at Herediano, joining them in June[7] and leaving them already in August.[8] In summer 2012, Castro was snapped up by Carmelita[9] and on 1 May 2014 he announced his retirement.[10]

Castro played at the 1995 FIFA U-17 World Championship and 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.[11]

He made his senior debut for the Ticos in a June 2000 friendly match against Paraguay and has earned a total of 48 caps, scoring 1 goal.[12] He has represented his country in 12 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played in Costa Rica's all three matches at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[11] He also played at the 2003 UNCAF Nations Cup[13] as well as at the 2002[14] and 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cups[15] and the 2001 Copa América.[16]
