He was offered a long-term contract by Hibernian, but returned to Motagua because they continued to demand a large transfer fee.[8]

Claros signed with Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City on 16 July 2014.[9]

Claros was recalled to the national team in September 2012 for 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Cuba.[14] He scored the only goal of the game in a 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against El Salvador, which meant that Honduras secured a place in the knockout stages of the tournament.[15] He helped Honduras qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where they were drawn with France, Ecuador and Switzerland.[8] Claros played as a substitute in their first game, a 3–0 defeat by France.[8] He then came into the starting lineup for the second match, as Wilson Palacios had been sent off against France.[8] Claros "added some composure", but Honduras lost 2–1 to Ecuador.[8]
