Career[edit]

Medina started his career with Deportivo Armenio.[1] He was with the club between 2009 and 2018, netting ten goals in one hundred and eight Primera B Metropolitana matches.[2][1] In that time, he was loaned out five times, firstly joining San Telmo for 2012–13; making fifteen appearances as they were relegated.[2] Primera B Nacional side Ferro Carril Oeste signed Medina on loan in January 2015.[2][3] He scored his first goal on 22 September against Gimnasia y Esgrima.[2] Medina spent the first half of 2016 with Almagro, scoring goals versus Boca Unidos, Atlético Paraná, Douglas Haig, Brown and Juventud Unida Universitario.[2]

For the rest of 2016, Medina joined fellow second tier team Instituto on loan.[2] One goal in twenty-five league fixtures followed, as Instituto finished sixth.[2] His final loan away from his parent club was confirmed on 15 August 2017, with the forward signing for Flandria.[2][4] He suffered his second career relegation, after they placed twenty-fourth with Medina playing twenty times and scoring twice.[2] In July 2018, Medina departed Deportivo Armenio permanently after he agreed a move to Defensores de Belgrano of Primera B Nacional.[2][5] He made his debut on 24 July during a 4–1 Copa Argentina defeat to Atlético de Rafaela.[2]
