Club career
Ulloa started his career in 1948 at Third Division side El Carmen de Alajuela [2] and played the majority of his career for hometown club Alajuelense, but also had spells at Puntarenas, San Carlos, Uruguay de Coronado and Orión as well as abroad at Guatemalan side Aurora, in Mexico with León, four months with Real Betis [3] in Spain and Unión Deportiva Canarias in Venezuela. [4]
Ulloa was top scorer of the Primera División three times, in 1959, 1960 and 1966, [5] totalling 140 goals in the Costa Rica Primera División. [6] He scored a record total of 247 goals in all competitions (league, cup, national team and internal club matches). [7] [8]
He retired in 1970.
