Early career

He moved abroad after the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship to spend time in Europe with Feyenoord,[2] who loaned him to then feeder club Excelsior for whom he made his debut in the Eerste Divisie against Emmen on 18 October 1997.[3] In 1999, he signed for two years for German second division side Karlsruhe alongside compatriot Mínor Díaz,[4] playing 24 matches,[5] before returning to Costa Rica and Saprissa.[6]

He was originally acquired by Major League Soccer and Real Salt Lake from Saprissa in exchange for Pablo Brenes, and was immediately sent to Chivas USA[7] for a draft pick, and spent a year with the team. Subsequently, Sequeira ended up at Real Salt Lake[8] but was waived following the 2006 season.

Tromsø

In December 2006, he signed a three-year contract with Norwegian club Tromsø. Sequeira got a good start to his career at Tromsø, scoring the 1–0 winning goal in the 8th minute of his first official match for the club, against Vålerenga on 9 April 2007.[9] On 30 July 2009, Sequeira played his last match for Tromsø at Alfheim Stadion. He will return to Costa Rica and Saprissa, after playing against Vålerenga on 9 August 2009.[10]

After playing a few more seasons for Saprissa, Sequeira retired in November 2013[11] and became manager of Saprissa's youth team.[12]

Since then he has represented the national team 42 times scoring twice.[13] He played in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, held in Malaysia, and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[14]
