Franco Emanuel Ledesma (born 3 October 1992) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Agropecuario.[1]
Career[edit]
Ledesma started in Torneo Argentino C with San Jorge.[3] In 2012, Ledesma joined Atlético Concepción of Torneo Argentino B, featuring nine times in two years.[3] Moves to Argentinos and Instituto Deportivo Santiago followed, along with twenty-one appearances in 2013 and 2014.[3] Instituto loaned Ledesma to Sportivo Guzmán in 2014.[4][5] He returned midway through, subsequently joining Torneo Federal A's Central Córdoba on loan.[4][5] Appearance two ended drawn with San Martín, though San Martín were later awarded the win due to him being ineligible as his Sportivo Guzmán loan hadn't officially ended.[4][5]
He departed Instituto permanently in January 2015 to join Mitre, with Ledesma scoring his first goal versus Vélez Sarsfield in the following March.[1][6] Ledesma spent seven months with Sportivo Patria from January 2016, prior to rejoining Mitre in July.[1] Twenty appearances followed in his first campaign back in 2016–17, a season that ended with promotion to Primera B Nacional.[1] He subsequently made his professional football debut, playing the full duration of a 2–0 defeat to Agropecuario on 18 November 2017.[1][7] After a 2019–20 stint with Independiente Rivadavia, Ledesma joined Alvarado in July 2020.[8][9]
In 2023, he moved to Chile and played for Deportes Iquique. In 2024, he returned to Argentina and joined Agropuecuario.[10]
