Fabián Agustín Dávila Silva (born 5 January 1999) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a forward for USL League One club Forward Madison.

Club career

Dávila is a youth academy graduate of Peñarol. On 31 August 2017, Spanish club Real Sociedad announced the signing of Dávila on a two-year long loan deal with an option to buy.[1] [2] On 3 February 2018, Dávila made his debut for club's reserve team Real Sociedad B which plays in Segunda División B, the third tier of Spanish football league system. He came on as an 81st-minute substitute for Marcos Celorrio in his team's 1–0 win against SD Amorebieta.[3]

Dávila returned to Peñarol after the expiry of loan deal, as the Basque-based side decided not to activate his purchase option. On 6 October 2019, he made his professional debut in Peñarol's 1–0 away loss against Liverpool Montevideo.[4]

In August 2021, Dávila terminated his contract with Peñarol and joined Boston River.[5] Boston River then loaned him to Ecuadorian Serie A club Guayaquil City for the 2023 season.

On 31 January 2024, USL League One club Forward Madison announced the signing of Dávila for the 2024 season.[6]

International career

Dávila is a former Uruguay youth international.[7] He was part of under-20 team which finished third at 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[8]
