Club career[edit]

C.D. Guadalajara[edit]

Ríos made his professional debut in a Copa MX match against Irapuato on 24 February 2015.[1]

Loan at Coras[edit]

In December 2015, it was announced Ríos was sent out on loan to Ascenso MX club Coras de Tepic in order to gain professional playing experience. He scored a brace on his debut on 8 January 2015 against Murciélagos; the match ended in a 6–0 win.[2]

Nashville SC[edit]

On 20 November 2018, Nashville MLS announced Ríos as their first signing for the 2020 MLS season. Nashville loaned Ríos to USL side Nashville SC for the 2019 season.[3] In his initial season with the club, Ríos was named to the 2019 All-League First Team, notching 20 goals in just 31 matches.[4] On 7 August 2019, Ríos scored a goal in the 56th minute in a 4–0 victory over Hartford Athletic, giving him goals in five consecutive games dating back to July 6.[5] Less than two weeks later, on 18 August 2019, Ríos scored two goals against the Charlotte Independence to give Nashville a 3–1 win, earning him Man of the Match honors.[6]

Ríos's 20 goals in the 2019 season, made him the first player in USL history to score 20 goals in multiple seasons.[7]
