Hugo Christophe Bargas (born 22 October 1986) is a French-born Argentine professional footballer who plays for Ecuadorian club Deportivo Cuenca as a striker.

Club career

Born in Le Puy-en-Velay through a French mother and an Argentine father, Bargas moved to Argentina at early age, and graduated from All Boys' youth setup. He made his senior debut on 29 September 2007, scoring the last of a 5–0 home routing over CA San Telmo for the Primera B Metropolitana championship.

Bargas appeared 20 times and scored four goals during the 2007–08 campaign, as his side were promoted to Primera B Nacional. On 1 September 2008 he moved abroad, joining Eredivisie side De Graafschap.[1]

Bargas played his first match as a professional on 14 September, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 home win against Vitesse. After appearing only three times in the season, all from the bench, he was loaned to FC Zwolle in January 2009, until June.[2]

Bargas subsequently returned to De Graafschap, being an undisputed starter as his side was crowned champions of 2009–10 Eerste Divisie, scoring 16 goals in the process. In July 2011 he returned to All Boys, with the club now in Primera División.

On 22 January 2012, after appearing in only four matches, Bargas signed a six-month contract with Spanish Segunda División's Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[3] He made his debut for the club seven days later, replacing Fernando Morán in the 52nd minute of a 1–2 home loss against UD Almería.[4]

On 20 April, Bargas rescinded with the Catalans, placed in the relegation zones.[5] In June 2012 he signed a one-year deal with Bolivian side Club Blooming.[6]

On 9 July of the following year, after being Blooming's top scorer in the campaign, Bargas joined fierce rivals Oriente Petrolero.[7] After starting rarely he rescinded his link in January 2014, and switched teams and countries again, signing for Italian Lega Pro Prima Divisione side U.S. Cremonese.[8]

On 19 June 2014 Bargas moved to Ecuador, joining Deportivo Cuenca.[9]
