Club Career

Born in La Seyne-sur-Mer, Rivas trained with Club de Bourges, winning the national U14 championship with the club. He spent two years at the training centre of Niort before joining the LB Chateauroux, where he spent five years. He made his debut for the senior team on 26 April 2013, in a 0–0 Ligue 2 game against Auxerre. He signed his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2013. In January 2014, he joined CA Bastia until the end of the 2013–14 season, in order to secure more game time. He scored his first senior goal whilst on loan at CA Bastia, the only goal in a 1–0 Ligue 2 win against AS Nancy on 17 January 2014.

In January 2015, Rivas left Chateauroux, signing an eighteen-month contract with Clermont Foot. After having only made four league appearances in the first half of the 2015–16 season, he agreed to leave Clermont on a loan deal with Les Herbiers VF until the end of the season.

Rivas left Clermont at the end of his contract, and after a trial joined Pau FC in September 2016. After two seasons during which he played the majority of Championnat National games, in June 2018 he joined AS Lyon-Duchere (which rebranded as Sporting Club Lyon in June 2020).
