Club career

Amarilla began his career with Deportivo Español.[3] He featured in Primera C Metropolitana from 2011, scoring five goals in forty-six fixtures up until 2013–14 when the club won promotion to Primera B Metropolitana.[3] Nineteen goals followed in four campaigns in the second tier, which included a hat-trick over Deportivo Riestra in 2015 and ten goals in 2016–17.[2] On 27 July 2017, Amarilla joined Chilean Primera División side Universidad de Concepción.[2] [4] He played twice in 2017, with both appearances coming in games with Unión Española.[2] Amarilla was loaned to Primera B de Chile's Unión San Felipe.[2]

After one goal, versus Deportes Melipilla, across eleven appearances in all competitions in early 2018 for Unión San Felipe, Amarilla returned to Universidad de Concepción who subsequently loaned the forward back out - to Platense of Argentina's Primera B Nacional in June 2018.[2] [5] [6] He scored on his starting league debut in September during a 2–0 victory over Deportivo Morón.[2] Amarilla went back to Argentina, permanently, with Estudiantes on 8 July 2019.[2] [7] He was on the move again in February 2020, as he signed with fellow Primera B Nacional team Brown.[8] He made one appearance before departing in June.[9]

On 22 November 2020, Amarilla returned to Chile, as he signed with Deportes Valdivia.[10] At the end of March 2021, he moved back to his homeland and joined Club Olimpo.[11]
