Club career
Born in Sambo Creek, Vuelto started playing in Victoria's youth setup.[1] He made his senior debut for the club on 8 September 2013, aged only 15, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Olimpia.[2]
On 16 October 2014 Vuelto scored his first goal as a senior, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Marathón. In May of the following year he went on a trial at Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland,[3] but nothing came of it.
On 7 June 2016, Vuelto signed a one-year loan deal for Spanish Segunda División side CD Tenerife, for a fee of €12,000.[4] Initially assigned to the reserves, he spent the whole pre-season with the main squad.
International career
He made his debut for Honduras national football team on 14 November 2019 in a CONCACAF Nations League game against Martinique.[5]
