As a child, Atlagic played for Los Canarios, the team of Colegio Don Bosco. In his early career, he played for José Miguel Carrera and Sportiva Italiana in his birthplace, Iquique.[1] After doing the military service, he began his professional career playing for Santiago Badminton, where he was well-known by his strong shots. He used to win the competition to become the team captain, since it lied in shooting "with no bounce" and going as far as possible.[2]
He also played for Colo-Colo, Santiago Wanderers and Audax Italiano, winning the 1948 Primera División de Chile.[2] He frequently returned to Iquique to reinforce the city team, playing also versus Alianza Lima and Universitario from Peru..[1]
