Club career

[edit]

Vila was born in O Porriño, Province of Pontevedra. Brought through the youth ranks of local team RC Celta de Vigo, he made his La Liga debut on 17 December 2006, playing 14 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Levante UD.[1] He totalled ten official appearances during the season, including three (also as a substitute) in the campaign's UEFA Cup[2][3][4] as the Galicians were eventually relegated.

Vila was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2008–09, with Celta now in the Segunda División.[5] He contributed 15 matches – 13 starts – in the 2011–12 campaign, to help the club return to the top flight after an absence of five years.

In January 2014, completely ostracised by new manager Luis Enrique,[6] Vila was loaned to Beitar Jerusalem F.C. of the Israeli Premier League until June. In July, he terminated his contract with Celta[7] and signed with Real Oviedo of Segunda División B.[8]

On 23 August 2018, Vila joined Indian Super League franchise FC Pune City after one season with Recreativo de Huelva in the Spanish third tier.[9]
