After starting his senior career with his boyhood club, Independiente del Valle , in 2019, Vite joined Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps in 2021 and continued there till 2025, including a brief loan stint to their reserve team, Whitecaps FC 2, in 2022.
The Ecuadorian star featured in 140 matches, registering 15 goals and nine assists for Vancouver Whitecaps, winning three Canadian Championships – and was instrumental in their run to the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final. After turning heads at the Canadian club, Vite made the move to LIGA MX side Pumas UNAM in July last year and established a regular spot in the playing squad. The 24-year-old has started in 26 out of the 34 appearances he has made for the Mexican club across competitions, during which he netted four goals.
