Career[edit]

In 2006, Shaffer was loaned on a one-year deal from Racing Club de Avellaneda to IFK Göteborg to replace the departing Oscar Wendt, who moved to FC Copenhagen. However, he did not manage to make a first team impact, and he subsequently moved back to Argentina after his short loan spell in Europe.[1]

On 27 June 2009, it was announced that Shaffer had signed a deal with Portuguese club Benfica for €1.9 million.[2] On 29 June, he was officially presented at Benfica's Estádio da Luz. However, after failing to hold on to a position in the first team, Shaffer moved once again back to Argentina on a 6-month loan to Banfield in January 2010.[3] In 2010–2011 he was loaned to Rosario Central, until the end of the season.[4] In 2011–2012, Shaffer was loaned to União Leiria.[5]

On 27 September 2012, Shaffer terminated is contract with Benfica.[6] In July 2013, he signed with Talleres de Córdoba.[7] A year later, he joined Unión La Calera in Chile.[8]
