editMedina began his professional career in 1988 with UNAM Pumas, with whom he won the 1989 CONCACAF Champions Cup and the 1991 Mexican Championship.
In 1992 he moved to CF Pachuca, for whom he scored a total of seven goals in the 1992/93 season; more than in any other season. On 18 October 1992 he scored twice in a 3–2 win over Deportivo Toluca and on 21 November 1992 he scored one in a 5-0 thrashing of Club América, arch-rivals of his previous employers Pumas. The other four goals came in just five weeks between February 6, 1993 (1-2 at CD Veracruz) and March 14, 1993 (2-1 against Atlas).
Via UAG Tecos, where he was under contract in the 1993/94 season and was part of the team that won the only league title in the history of Tecos, he came to CF Monterrey in 1994, for which he made the most top division appearances with 103 appearances completed his career. Then he was from 1997 to 1999 at Club León, in the 1999/00 season at Puebla FC and most recently at Club Atlante under contract, where he was used less frequently at the Potros and for a half-season at CD Irapuato and CD Veracruz was borrowed. In 2003 he ended his active career with CD Zacatepec, which plays in the second-class Primera División 'A'.

Medina played the last four of his six international appearances in February 1998 as part of the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup in the USA. His last game was the 1–0 final win over the hosts and Mexico's arch-rivals USA on February 15, 1998.
