Danubio

Born in Salto, Ardaiz joined Danubio's youth setup in 2012, from Club Saladero.[1] Promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2016 campaign,[2] he appeared in friendlies against Brazilian sides Grêmio and Cruzeiro before making his official debut on 14 February, coming on as a second-half substitute for Marcelo Saracchi in a 1–0 away loss against Cerro.[3]

On 21 February 2016, Ardaiz scored the equalizer in a 3–3 home draw against El Tanque Sisley.[4] The following 16 January, he was sold to a group of English investors, having 70% of his federative rights acquired; he was assigned to El Tanque Sisley, and was immediately loaned back to Danubio.[5]

Loan to Royal Antwerp

Ardaiz scored his first goal abroad on 29 October 2017, netting his team's first in a 2–2 away draw against Royal Excel Mouscron.

Loan to Frosinone

On 17 August 2018, Ardaiz joined Italian side Frosinone on a year-long loan with an option to buy.[7]
