After fourteen matches for Sportivo Luqueño in 2013, Contrera left Olimpia to spend 2014 with General Díaz.[1] He marked his second start for General Díaz with two goals in a 3–2 win against 12 de Octubre on 15 August.[1] On 1 January 2015, Guaraní signed Contrera.[7] He scored five goals in twenty-five appearances in his debut season as Guaraní finished second.[1] In his first three seasons with the club, Contrera netted eight goals in fifty-six games.[1][8] July 2017 saw Contrera leave Paraguayan football for the first time to play in Argentina with Patronato on loan.[9] His first match came versus San Martín on 27 August.[1][10]
