Edgar Yoel Bárcenas began his football career with CD Árabe Unido de Colón, with whom he reached the cup final. After a brief spell in Croatian football he won the domestic league with Cafetaleros de Tapachula in 2018.
Three seasons of LaLiga SmartBank football with Real Oviedo and Girona FC
Bárcenas' foray into Spanish football got underway at Real Oviedo, where he played in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons, making 70 appearances to contribute 14 goals and registering four assists.
