Career

Colombo started in the youth of the Argentine Primera División club Atlético de Rafaela. His first taste of senior football was when he was selected as a substitute for a Copa Argentina tie against Banfield in March 2012.[1][3] He went onto make his senior debut in the same competition on 19 June 2013 in a loss to San Lorenzo.[1] He made another Copa Argentina appearance before making his league debut in an away defeat to Huracán during the 2015 campaign.[1] On 2 April 2016, Colombo was sent off for the first time in a Primera División match against Boca Juniors.[1] He left Rafaela in January 2017 after the end of his contract.[4][5]

In January 2017, Colombo joined Bolivian Primera División side Universitario de Sucre.[6][7] He made his debut on 23 January in a Copa Libertadores match against Montevideo Wanderers.[1] A move to Instituto fell through in August 2017.[1][8] On 7 January 2018, Sport Huancayo of the Peruvian Primera División signed Colombo.[1][9] Goals against Deportivo Binacional, Deportivo Municipal and Sport Rosario followed across thirty-four appearances in all competitions; the same tally he notched in Bolivia.[1] In January 2019, Colombo signed for Independiente Rivadavia under Gabriel Gómez; who had tried to sign him for Instituto.[10]

After eighteen months and one goal in twenty-eight matches with Independiente Rivadavia, Colombo headed to Greece with Super League side Volos in August 2020.[1] His debut came on 13 September against Atromitos, which preceded his first goal arriving on 30 November versus Apollon Smyrnis.[1]

In January 2026, Colombo moved to Chile and joined Curicó Unido.[11]
