Club career

Born in Eloy Alfaro, Esmeraldas, Castillo joined Independiente del Valle's youth setup in 2011. After failing to make his breakthrough, he signed a contract with Norte América and subsequently signed for LDU Loja on loan.[1]

Castillo made his professional debut on 29 March 2013, starting in a 2–1 away loss against Emelec.[2] His first goal came on 25 August, the opener in a 3–1 home win against Barcelona.[3]

On 7 January 2014 Castillo joined Barcelona,[4] but was subsequently loaned to Olmedo for one year. He was converted into a left back during the campaign, as his side suffered relegation.[5]

Back to Barcelona, Castillo mainly featured as a substitute during his first two seasons. On 26 February 2017, he scored a brace in a 3–2 home win against El Nacional.[6]
