Julio scored his first senior goals on 22 October 2017, netting a brace in a 5–2 home success over Delfín. He established himself as a regular starter from the 2018 season onwards, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 4 April of that year.[3]
On 14 September 2020, Julio further extended his contract with LDU until 2024.[4] In September 2021, he was suspended for two months after an altercation with Emelec players during a match between both clubs,[5] but the ban was later reduced to two matches on 1 October.[6]
