## Club career

Nicknamed el Pindi, Darcourt played his entire career for local side Pinar del Río, except for half a season in Germany with Bonner SC, when then Cuban leader Fidel Castro approved for the whole Cuban team to join the German 4th level side for part of the 1998/99 season. He also had a one month-trial with Olympique Marseille along with compatriot Osmín Hernández in 1998, only for a Cuban official to prevent him to sign professional terms.
Born in Candelaria, then in Pinar del Río Province, he won 5 Cuban league titles and was voted Cuban footballer of the year in 1991, 1992 and 1995.

His final international was a July 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against the United States, quitting international football due to a persistent knee injury.
