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:
“He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power—how he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
““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)
