Career
Avellaneda was promoted into the first-team squad of Lanús in 2013, appearing on the subs bench against Estudiantes on 19 June.[1][2] He went unused, as Avellaneda did a further twenty-five times between then and the end of 2017.[1] On 21 January 2018, fellow Primera División side Defensa y Justicia signed Avellaneda.[1][3][4] He was on the bench for twelve fixtures in 2017–18, prior to eventually making his debut in Defensa's penultimate match of the season versus Newell's Old Boys on 5 May; due to the ineligibility of Ezequiel Unsain.[5] He wouldn't appear again, despite appearing on the sidelines sixty-five times across two seasons.[1]
Avellaneda spent the 2020 campaign on loan to Primera Nacional with Ferro Carril Oeste; initially planned to last until December 2021.[6] His first appearance occurred on 12 December 2020 against Deportivo Morón, which preceded six further appearances for the club.[1] On 18 February 2021, having cut short his time with Ferro, Avellaneda penned permanent terms with fellow second tier team Santamarina.[7]
In 2023, he played for Chilean club San Luis de Quillota.[9] The next season, he switched to Cobreloa, the recent promoted team to the top division.[10]
