Club career

Rivas began his career with Categoría Primera A side Once Caldas in 2012. The following season he joined Deportivo Cali and went on to score 18 goals in 47 games in all competitions during his first full season in the Colombian top flight.[2] During the 2014 season Rivas was an important player in helping the club capture the 2014 Superliga Colombiana.

In January 2015 it was reported that Orlando City SC would be signing Rivas for a $1.5 million fee along with his Deportivo Cali teammate Cristian Higuita.[3] He was chosen as their third Designated Player after Kaká and Bryan Róchez, and made his debut at the latter's expense on 8 March in their first MLS game, a 1–1 home draw against fellow newcomers New York City FC. He was picked as the best Orlando player and second best player overall for that match by the league's website.[4]
