Club career

edit

Wila started his career at Deportivo Cuenca. With just one appearance for Cuenca, he was loaned out to many other clubs. In 2009, Wila was loaned out to Técnico Universitario where he has had the most success in his career. Currently[when?], he is the team's second goalscorer after Omar Guerra with 6 goals.

In July 2009, in a game against ESPOLI, Wila was banned out of football for three months after he chested and argued with the referee about a play which got him a red card.[2]

It was confirmed that Wila would be joining Barcelona for the 2015 Serie A.[3]

In 2015, Wila joined Saudi Professional League side Al-Nassr FC.[4]

In February 2019, Wila joined LDU Portoviejo alongside his older brother Polo Wila.[5]

International career

edit

Wila was called up for an unofficial friendly on April 23, 2014 against the Serie A Rest of the World team composed of foreigners. He scored his 1st goal for Ecuador in this very same game.[6] Ecuador went on to win the match 2-1. Wila made his "Official" debut for Ecuador against Netherlands on May 17, 2014. He was subbed out during the 2nd half due to an injury for Fidel Martínez.
