Club career

[edit]

Born in Quibdó, Peñaloza was a CD Estudiantil de Medellín youth graduate, and moved to Spain on 19 September 2018, after signing a five-year contract with SD Huesca; he was initially assigned to the farm team AD Almudévar in Tercera División.[1] The following 31 January, he moved on loan to Segunda División B side CD Teruel until June.[2]

Peñaloza played for SD Ejea in the third division during the 2019–20 season, as the club became Huesca's new farm team.[3] On 2 October 2020, he was loaned to fellow third tier side Racing de Ferrol.[4]

On 9 August 2021, Peñaloza returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Águilas Doradas Rionegro.[5] He made his professional debut the following day, coming on as a half-time substitute for Juan Camilo Salazar and scoring the match's winner in a 1–0 home success over Patriotas Boyacá.[6]

On 28 February 2024, Peñaloza joined China League One club Guangzhou FC.[7]
