Rivera signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders prior to their first season in the A-League in 2004, and has been a part of the team ever since.

He was the player with most league appearances for the Islanders.

After the dissolution of the Islanders in 2012, Rivera continued play with local Puerto Rico teams as well as the national team, most recently earning the spot of Captain for the newly re-formed Puerto Rico Bayamon F.C., a team scheduled to commence play within the NPSL in its 2014 season and the CFU.
