Born in Concordia, Godoy played as a midfielder for local side Club Salto Grande, and also had a failed trial at Vélez Sarsfield. He later moved to Atlético Rafaela in 2010, where he was converted into a right-back by manager .
After progressing in the youth categories, Godoy made his first team â and Primera División â debut on 10 April 2015, starting in a 1âÂÂ1 away draw against Crucero del Norte. He immediately became a starter for the side, and scored his first senior goal on 10 August, in a 5âÂÂ1 Copa Argentina home routing of Deportivo Merlo; he was later sent off in that match.
In July 2016, Godoy was transferred to Talleres de Córdoba, after the club purchased 80% of his economic rights. He became an immediate first-choice for the side, rarely missing a match for the club.

Godoy was a first-choice during his entire spell at the Pincharratas, helping the club to win their first-ever Copa Argentina title in 2023.
On 6 January 2024, Godoy was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense, signing a four-year deal. He shared the starting spot with Madson during the campaign, as the club suffered relegation.
