Career[edit]

On 3 July 2013, Benítez was loaned to Almirante Brown of Primera B Nacional.[2][9] His debut arrived on 13 August against Villa San Carlos, which preceded a further eight appearances.[2] In June 2014, Benítez agreed a move to Estudiantes.[2] He remained for the 2014 and 2015 campaigns, participating in forty-two league fixtures whilst netting goals against Fénix and Tristán Suárez.[2] Deportivo Riestra became his eighth club in January 2016.[2] Four goals in fifty-three encounters occurred in two seasons, with the latter ending with promotion to tier two.[2][10] They were relegated in 2017–18; a campaign he ended with two red cards.[2]
