Edwin Javier Cerrillo (born October 3, 2000) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defensive midfielder for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.
Cerrillo committed to playing college soccer at the University of Maryland, but opted to sign a Homegrown Player contract with Major League Soccer side FC Dallas on February 14, 2019.[3] He made his professional debut as a 79th-minute substitute in a 2–0 win over LA Galaxy on March 9, 2019.[4] On August 3, 2023, Cerrillo was traded to LA Galaxy in exchange for up to $600,000 in General Allocation Money, with $200,000 guaranteed and $400,000 that's conditional on performance metrics. Dallas also retained a sell-on percentage.[5]
Cerrillo was called up on the back of good league form to the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup; although, he did not play in that tournament. He was subsequently called up to the United States national under-23 team for a camp later during the 2019 MLS season. He is also eligible to play for Mexico.[6]
Born in the United States, Cerrillo is of Mexican descent.
