Club career

Águila

Carranza began his career through the Águila youth system and was a prominent young defender whose organization and determination gained wide admiration.

During his early career, he has won three national league titles with Águila (Apertura 2000, Clausura 2001 and Clausura 2006), and won a gold medal with El Salvador national team during the football matches of the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games.

After winning the championship in 2006 he was called for play with the El Salvador national team, but he did not accept.

He had a chance to be in the national team again in 2008, but he had a minor abdominal pain that prevented him.

Atlético Balboa

In 2009 he signed for Atlético Balboa, but left them later in that year after not being paid by the club of La Unión.

ADI

In 2010 Carranza signed with ADI of Intipucá, team that at that time played in the Segunda División.

Juventud Independiente

In 2012 Carranza signed with Juventud Independiente. With the team of San Juan Opico, Carranza had a good season in the Primera División.

UES

In 2013, he signed with UES. With the scarlet team Carranza had very important moments, by example he scored two goals in a game against Juventud Independiente that ended in victory for the UES (3–2) in the Estado Universitario and he became team captain. However, during those years, the UES team was in a terrible administrative situation, suffered arrears in salary payments and Carranza was losing presence in the matches, until he finally left the team in 2016.

Aspirante

After leaving the UES, Carranza had a very short step with Aspirante.

Dragón

Carranza signed with Dragón for the Clausura 2017 tournament. The team of San Miguel also suffered many administrative, economic and sports problems. Carranza ended up leaving the team months later.

International career

Carranza made his debut for El Salvador in an April 2004 friendly match against Colombia and has earned a total of 3 caps, scoring no goals. He has represented his country in only 1 FIFA World Cup qualification match.

His final international game was an August 2004 friendly match against Honduras.
