Club career

Larrea has always played for L.D.U. Quito. He plays as a central midfielder and was often used as a starter whenever Patricio Urrutia can't play. He played in the 2008 Copa Sudamericana as a replacement for Urrutia against Boca Juniors. Liga went on to lose to them 5-1 aggregate.

In the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup, Larrea made two substitute appearances. In the semi-final encounter with Pachuca, he came on in the last two minutes of the game. He provided an assist for Reinaldo Navia but Navia could not score the goal.{{cite web | url=http://www.telegrafo.com.ec/deportes/noticia/archive/deportes/2008/12/19/Navia-se-revaloriza-en-la-_1820_Bordadora_1920_.aspx | title=El Telégrafo }} He also came on in the last minutes of the final.
