Club career
[edit]Banfield
[edit]Enrique progressed through the youth ranks of Banfield.[4] On 25 July 2019, he signed his first professional contract; penning terms for three years.[2] He was promoted to the club's senior squad under manager Javier Sanguinetti at the beginning of 2021, having only previously been called up to train with them and featuring in a friendly in October 2020 against Talleres.[5][6] On 12 February 2021, he made his senior professional debut, entering as a 73rd-minute substitute for Luciano Pons in a 2–0 victory over Racing Club in the 2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional group stage.[7] He scored his first senior goal in the same competition, the equalizer of a 2–2 draw with Estudiantes de La Plata on 5 April 2021.
Orlando City

He was rostered under the MLS U22 initiative.[8] He made his debut for the club on 26 February 2023, replacing Ercan Kara in the 63rd minute of a 1–0 win over the New York Red Bulls.[9] Enrique scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on 10 June.[10]
Following an ankle injury near the start of the 2024 season which sidelined him for just over two months, Enrique scored a goal in six matches across all competitions in a row from 6 July to 4 August, with the streak only ending after a 0–0 draw against Cruz Azul before Orlando City lost 5–4 on penalties.[1] With four consecutive league goals in a row, Enrique matched Dom Dwyer, Nani, and Daryl Dike's record for the most consecutive goals across league matches for the club.[11]
