Club Career
Fonseca played for Comunicaciones in Guatemala, Independiente Medellín and América de Cali in Colombia, C.F. Pachuca and CF La Piedad in Mexico, as well as having home spells with Deportivo Saprissa, LD Alajuelense and Municipal Liberia.
In Costa Rica, he played a total of 271 games, scoring over 100 goals, between the league's two best teams, Saprissa and Alajuelense. His debut was with Deportivo Saprissa, on June 1, 1991, against ASODELI, and scored his first goal against San Carlos on August 28. He also won Costa Rican championships in 1993-94, 1994–95 (Saprissa), and 1996–97, 2001–02, 2002–03 and 2004-05 (Alajuelense), adding three CONCACAF Champions' Cups in 1993, 1995 (Saprissa), and 2004 (Alajuelense).
After solid performances with Alajuelense and the national team, Fonseca received offers in 2007 from China, Chile, Turkey and the Major League Soccer, but finally settled, as co-owner, player and captain of Municipal Liberia. Although he was having a great season, he left the project a few days before finishing the Apertura tournament, apparently due to personal issues and some differences with then co-owner Mario Sotela. Rumors surfaced Fonseca would return to Alajuelense, but they were all quickly discarded.
After failed negotiations with Brujas F.C., Fonseca returned to Comunicaciones, a team he had already represented on two other spells, remaining as one of side's best imports ever. Fonseca retired in January 2011, but a year and seven months later, he made return to professional football by joining Asociación Deportiva Carmelita on 19 August 2012. After three matches with Carmelita, in September 2012 he was released. Coach Orlando de León cited that Fonseca has been busy with his other activities besides football.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“Mi advise tu them who are about tu begin, in arnest, the jurney ov life, is tu take their harte in one hand and a club in the other.”
—Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
