Career
Techera began his career in 2010 with River Plate Montevideo, where he played for five seasons.[1]

Style of play
Upon signing the player on loan in 2015, former Vancouver Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson described Techera as "a quick natural winger, who can play on both sides of the pitch. He has great technical ability and will excite in the attacking third."[5] His MLS Profile describes him as "a technical, speedy winger capable of both scoring and setting up his teammates. The Uruguayan makes up for his small frame with speed and an ability to withstand physical play from opposing defenders."[6] A diminutive midfielder or forward, his nickname is "the bug," due to his small stature.[7]
