[2] Ángel began his career in Sogamoso, playing with local sides under the tutelage of coaches Nelson Castillo and Fernando López, where his performances earned him a place in the representative team of the Boyacá Department.

[2] Having spent two seasons with Barranquilla, Ángel was loaned to parent club Atlético Junior in 2019, alongside teammate Stiwart Acuña, ahead of the 2019 Torneo Finalización.

[13] Having made his debut in the 0–0 draw against Racing Club on 16 July, he would have to wait until 8 August to feature again, coming on as a late substitute for Guillermo Balzi in a 4–2 Copa Argentina win over Aldosivi.

[14] After being initially ruled out for five weeks, he had still not featured by the end of the 2022 season, with Newell's issuing a new diagnosis in November, stating that Ángel had suffered a sprained knee with advanced partial injury of the posterior cruciate ligament.

[18] Later the same month, in an interview with Barranquilla-based newspaper El Heraldo, he stated that Newell's Old Boys had yet to make a decision on the purchase option, and if he were to return to Atlético Junior, he would help them fight for the Colombian league title.

[19] Ángel was called up to represent the Colombian under-17 side at the 2017 Bolivarian Games, where he starred in the final as Colombia beat Ecuador 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out after a 2–2 draw.
