Career

[edit]

David Silva started his career in the lower divisions of Millonarios, where he played as a striker. His main features are link up play and technique on the right foot. After two years in Millonarios, Silva was sent on a loan to Deportivo Pereira, a team for which he only had a few appearances. For the 2008 season, Silva returned to Millonarios.

After passing through Bogotá and Real Cartagena, David Silva signed with Deportes Tolima. Here he was a key player in the starting eleven and he even captained the team before returning to Millonarios once again in 2015. Now with a lot more experience to his name, Silva walked seamlessly into the Millonarios starting eleven that won the team's fifteenth league title in December 2017. As of 2019 he is the teams' second captain.
