Club career[]
Pumas[]
He played for Pumas Morelos and was called up by Pumas de la UNAM to be a substitute or to play in the CONCACAF Champions League and Interliga.
His debut was on 7 March 2009 in a match against San Luis in which he came in as a substitute replacing Fernando Morales on the 82nd minute.
Fuentes was part of the Pumas de la UNAM squads that won two championships, the Clausura 2009 and the Clausura 2011. For the Apertura 2016, Fuentes was selected team captain, at the suggestion of the team's prior captain, Darío Verón.

Loan to América[]
On 29 December 2019, Club América announced that Fuentes would be joining the team for the Clausura 2020 on loan from Xolos.[2] After the Clausura 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, América did not exercise the option to acquire Fuentes on a permanent deal and returned to Xolos.[3]
América[]
On 26 August 2020, Fuentes re-joined Club América on a free transfer after his contract with Xolos ended and the border-town team did not renew it.[4] América sought a defender prior to the transfer window close date as a result of the season-long injury sustained by Bruno Valdez against Monterrey.
