Matías Aguirregaray Guruceaga (born 1 April 1989, in Porto Alegre) is an Uruguayan football player who is currently playing for Liga MX club Xolos de Tijuana. His nickname is "El Vasquito". He also holds a Spanish passport, allowing him to be counted as an EU player.[1]
Club career
Aguirregaray made his professional debut in 2007 with a Peñarol shirt, and spent four full seasons with the club.
In October 2010 he joined Tercera División club Terrassa FC, in order to help him gain a Spanish passport to ease a potential move to a higher-rank team within Europe. He never played a single game with the Catalans.[2][3]
On 24 August 2011, Serie A club Palermo confirmed to have signed Aguirregaray on loan from Montevideo Wanderers F.C., with an option to fully acquire the player's transfer right by the end of the season.[4] He made his debut as a second-half substitute for Nicolás Bertolo in a Serie A home game against Cagliari, ended in a 3–2 win for his side.
In July 2013 he signed a contract with Argentinian club Estudiantes de La Plata.
International career
Aguirregaray took part at the 2009 South American Youth Championship and the 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup as part of the Uruguayan under-20 team.
In September 2012, he was called up to the Uruguayan senior side for two World Cup qualifying matches against Colombia and Ecuador, but failed to make debut.[5] He finally made his debut to the senior squad in February 2013 in a 3–1 friendly loss against Spain, coming on as a substitute.
Personal life
Matias is the son of Penarol's former player, Óscar Aguirregaray.[6]
