Career
Currently, he is the technical secretary at Saprissa. He played for Belén, Puntarenas and Carmelita during the 90s, before joining Saprissa in 1996. He returned to Carmelita in 2000 but rejoined Saprissa in 2002.
Porras spent several years on Saprissa"s bench before being given his opportunity to shine.
However, because Erick Lonnis, the star goalkeeper for Saprissa and Costa Rica, was at the pinnacle of his career, Porras had to patiently wait for his chance. After Lonnis"s retirement, Porras managed to establish himself in both Saprissa"s and the national team"s goal.
With Porras in goal, Saprissa finished third in the Fédération internationale de football association Club World Championship 2005, behind São Paulo and Liverpool. He ended up playing 213 games for Saprissa.
In January 2009, Porras announced his retirement at the end of the 2009 Verano season.
Porras was a non-playing squad member at the 1989 Fédération internationale de football association World Youth Championship in Saudi Arabia. He made his senior debut for Costa Rica in a June 2004 friendly match against Nicaragua and earned a total of 33 caps, scoring no goals. He also played at the 2005 and 2007 UNCAF Nations Cup, as well as at the 2005 and 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cups and the 2004 Copa América.
His final international was a November 2007 friendly match against Panama.
