Career

Villarruel started his career in 2012 with Huracán.[1][2] He made his debut on 5 March in an away win against Boca Unidos in Primera B Nacional, which was the first of seven appearances during 2011–12.[1] In November 2012, Villarruel scored his first senior goal in a 0–4 win versus Almirante Brown.[1] At the end of the 2014 Primera B Nacional season, after he had scored two goals in ninety-seven appearances, Huracán won promotion to the Argentine Primera División.[1][3] On 30 June 2016, Olimpo signed Villarruel on loan for the 2016–17 campaign.[1][4] After twenty-seven appearances in all competitions, his loan was renewed in July 2017.[5]

He returned to Huracán on 16 May 2018, following a total of fifty appearances for Olimpo over two seasons for Olimpo.[6] Villarruel joined Defensa y Justicia in the following July.[1] After six matches in twelve months for Defensa, Villarruel left on loan in August 2019 to league counterparts Newell's Old Boys.[1] He remained until the succeeding December, appearing twelve times for them; though just four were as a starter.[1] January 2020 saw Villarruel head abroad for the first time, joining Ecuadorian Serie A club L.D.U. Quito on loan for one year.[1] He made his debut in a three-goal Clásico Quiteño victory away to El Nacional on 28 February, with his first goal arriving on 3 October against Mushuc Runa.[1]
