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:
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
