Early life[edit]

Having played grassroots football in London, Aguilar was scouted by professional side Watford when he was fifteen, and joined the club in November 2020.[4][5] Following the expiration of his contract with Watford in June 2023, he stated that he had received offers from clubs across Europe.[6]

In August 2023, it was reported that Peruvian Liga 1 side Sporting Cristal were looking at signing Aguilar.[7] The following month, Peruvian newspaper Depor [es] reported that, despite interest from Swedish side AFC Eskilstuna, Aguilar was set to join Sporting Cristal.[8] Despite this, he remained in England, joining Isthmian League side New Salamis and playing three games for the side in January 2024.

He went on move to Sweden, joining Division 2 Norrland side Ytterhogdal.

Though born in England, Aguilar's grandfather is Peruvian, and he received a Peruvian passport having been contacted by the Peruvian Football Federation.[4][9] He remains eligible to represent England through birth, Spain, having been raised there, and Cyprus.[4]
