Career

This would see him move to Paraguayan Primera División side Tacuary and for the next several seasons he would become a regular member of the team until the 2007 league season saw him loaned off to another Paraguayan side in Cerro Porteño. Pablo would return from his loan period and play for Tacuary again in a further 5 league games, however that wasn't enough for him to regain his position within the team and he left to join top tier Colombian side Bucaramanga.
