Luca Ferro

The number that stands out most on Luca Ferro's résumé is 12 — the goals he scored for Vecinal Unidos in the Liga Platense, a haul that made him the tournament's top scorer and helped the club to the title. That spell, played in Argentina's regional amateur football between 2023 and 2025, was the springboard for the rest of his career: goals at that level do not go unnoticed.

At Villa San Carlos, in the Primera B Metropolitana, the numbers were more modest — seven goals in 39 appearances across the 2025 season.

In Ecuador, Ferro has had to adjust to a different level of competition. His league contribution so far reads two goals and an assist from 21 appearances. He has found the net more often in continental football, with two goals in the Copa Sudamericana.

Ferro's path has been built on lower-division football rather than a conventional academy route.
