Club Career
Torres began playing professionally with his hometown Club Olimpia, helping it to win back-to-back first division titles. In 1991, he helped the team reach the final of the Libertadores Cup, although the team lost on aggregate to Chile's Colo-Colo (0–3). During that year, he was crowned the domestic competition's topscorer in 1991, with 12 goals.
After the Libertadores Cup, Torres moved to Argentina, where he would represent three teams with different individual success (scoring nearly 50 official goals for Racing Club de Avellaneda and Argentinos Juniors combined, but only finding the net once in the first division with the Newell's Old Boys). He moved to Europe in 1995, joining Spanish second division outfit CD Badajoz, helping the Extremadura side to five consecutive seasons in the category, whilst playing in more than 200 official games (never appearing in less than 34 in the league during his spell), and surpassing the 50-goal mark.
At 32, while in Spain and its second level, Torres signed for Real Jaén, being relegated in his second season. However, he had already left the Andalusians in the previous transfer market window, joining another team in the country, Ciudad de Murcia. After only a couple of months, he returned to his previous club.
Torres closed out his career in 2005, representing Tacuary in his homeland.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
