Early life
editCanteros was born and raised in Villa Pirelli, a shanty town of the City of Buenos Aires.[2] He started playing youth football in Vélez Sársfield at the age of 10.
Career
editVélez Sarsfield
editCanteros started his professional career for Vélez Sársfield on 8 February 2009, coming on as a substitute in his team's 0–0 draw with Independiente for the first fixture of the 2009 Clausura.[3] He played only one more game in that tournament, the 8th fixture against Banfield, that his team went on to win.
During the 2011 Clausura, and due to Leandro Somoza's departure from Vélez, Canteros started playing more regularly for the first team. He scored his first professional goal in a 2–3 defeat to Quilmes.[4]
In the beginning of 2014 Canteros' name was linked with Flamengo as a possible substitute for Elias, who was returning to Sporting CP as his loan finished. However, Canteros continued to play for Vélez Sarsfield, as Flamengo wanted a loan and the Argentine club was only willing to a permanent move.[5][6]
Flamengo
editOn 3 July 3, 2014 Flamengo paid a fee of US$2.2 million for Canteros, and the player signed a 3-year contract.[7] His debut for the new club came on 27 July in a 1–0 derby win against Botafogo at the Maracanã, as he came from the bench and played 27 minutes.[8] Few days later, on 3 August, Héctor played his first match as a starter against Chapecoense at Arena Condá, which Flamengo lost 0–1.[9]
Chapecoense (loan)
editOn 10 August 2017 Chapecoense sign Canteros on loan from Flamengo until May 31, 2018, to replace Andrei Girotto recently transferred to Nantes.[10]
Chapecoense
editAs his contract with Flamengo and the loan to Chapecoense finished, on 31 May 2018 Canteros signed a six-month contract with Chapecoense until the end of the 2018 season.[11]
Ankaragücü
editOn 31 January 2019, Canteros joined Süper Lig side Ankaragücü on a one-and-a-half-year deal.
