Born in Santa Marta, Suárez made his senior debut with Leones on 5 October 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–3 Categoría Primera B away loss against América de Cali. The following 1 March, after eight first-team appearances, he was loaned to Granada CF until 2017 with a buyout clause, and was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[1]

On 17 July 2017, after having his federative rights assigned to Watford, Suárez was loaned to Real Valladolid B in the third division for a year.[2] The following 9 July, after scoring 11 goals, he joined Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona also in a temporary deal.[3]

Suárez made his professional debut on 20 August 2018, replacing Tete Morente late into a 1–1 home draw against CD Tenerife.[4] He scored his first goal on 7 October, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Cádiz CF.

On 21 June 2019, Suárez was loaned to Real Zaragoza, still in the Spanish second division.[5]
