Club career

Born in Don Torcuato, Buenos Aires Province, Vega joined River Plate's youth setup in 2004.[1] In January 2013 he was called up to the main squad by manager Ramón Díaz for the pre-season,[2] being subsequently promoted to the first team.

On 13 October 2013 Vega made his professional – and Primera División – debut, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Newell's Old Boys.[3] After appearing in a 1–2 home loss against Estudiantes,[4] he was demoted to the reserves, as Díaz was dismissed.

On 4 February 2015 Vega was released by River.[5] Late in the month, he was linked to a possible move to FC Dallas,[6] but nothing came of it.

In July 2015 Vega joined AD Alcorcón in Spain. Initially assigned to the reserves,[7] he appeared the whole pre-season with the main squad and was granted a first team number on 19 August, being assigned #2 jersey.[8]

Vega made his debut for the Alfareros on 9 September 2015, starting in a 0–1 Copa del Rey home defeat against SD Ponferradina.
