Club career

A (effectively CF Monterreys reserve team),[1] with the hopes of signing with the club's second division side. After the two-week trial, both players returned to El Salvador, with the promise from head coach Gerardo Jiménez, that he would look to open negotiations to transfer them to the club, whether on a full-time basis, or on loan however neither player was ever signed. On July 1, 2010, Salazar signed a six-month contract with FAS[2] only to rejoin Firpo for the 2011 Clausura claiming FAS owing him three months wages.[3]
International career

He earned a total of 50 caps, scoring no goals, and has represented his country in 18 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[4] He has played at the 2007 UNCAF Nations Cup,[5] as well as at the 2007[6] and 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[7]
His final international game was an October 2010 friendly match against Costa Rica.
