Career & Clubs
Tiro Federal
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Ávila played for Tiro Federal as a youth, also having a short spell at RCD Espanyol in 2010. He made his first team debut for the former on 18 October 2010 at the age of just 16, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gastón Meinicocci in a 0–2 Primera B Nacional away loss against Almirante Brown. Ávila scored his first goal on 11 June 2011, netting his team's second in a 3–1 away win over Ferro Carril Oeste, as his side was already relegated. He did not establish himself as a regular starter for the side in the following seasons, as the club competed in the Torneo Argentino A.
