As a child, Atlagic played for Los Canarios, the team of Colegio Don Bosco. In his early career, he played for José Miguel Carrera and Sportiva Italiana in his birthplace, Iquique.[1] After doing military service, he began his professional career playing for Santiago Badminton, where he was well known by his strong shots. He used to win the competition to become the team captain, since it lay in shooting "with no bounce" and going as far as possible.[2]

He also played for Colo-Colo, Santiago Wanderers and Audax Italiano, winning the 1948 Primera División de Chile.[2] He frequently returned to Iquique to reinforce the city team, playing also versus Alianza Lima and Universitario from Peru.[1]
