David Villalba

Hermes David Villalba spent most of his career on the move. He turned professional in 2016 with River Plate in Asunción and, after four years at General Díaz split between Paraguay's Primera División and its second tier, took his first trip abroad on loan to Peru's FBC Melgar in 2019.

Since then he has rarely stayed anywhere long. A return to Paraguay with Sportivo Luqueño in 2021 was followed by a free transfer to Ecuador's Mushuc Runa, then a spell in Bolivia at Oriente Petrolero in 2023, where he made six appearances in the Copa Sudamericana.

Villalba joined Sportivo Trinidense as a free agent at the start of 2024, on a deal running to the end of 2026. He has kept up the pattern of South American cup football with his new club, playing three Copa Libertadores qualifying matches and two more in the Copa Sudamericana. Domestically, his first season in Paraguay's top flight with Trinidense brought five league appearances, without a goal.

There is no record of him being capped by Paraguay's senior national team, and no trophies or individual honours attached to his name. What stands out instead is the range of shirts he has worn across four countries in under a decade — Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
