Chucho as he is nicknamed has only received international recognition in recent years, during his performance in the 2008 Copa Libertadores with his former team LDU Quito. He was part of the starting line-up for LDU Quito that won the 2008 Copa Libertadores and has since won legend status in Ecuador's capital.

He signed for Internacional on 11 May 2009.[2] He scored a hat trick for Internacional in one of his debut against Coritiba.
On December 21, Bolaños signed for Barcelona in Ecuador for a one year loan for the 2010 season.[3]
On his debut day on February 13, Bolaños scored his first goal with Barcelona from a 30 meters distance shot.[4]
