Tomás Agustín "Toto" Avilés (born 3 February 2004) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga de Primera club O'Higgins on loan from Inter Miami. A former youth international for Chile, he plays for the Argentina U20s.

Career

Avilés is a youth product of Boxing Club and CAI (Comodoro Rivadavia), before joining Racing Club's youth academy in January 2020.[3] He spent his first year with them training alone due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

On 17 February 2023, he signed his first professional contract with Racing Club for 3 years.[5] He made his senior and professional debut with Racing Club as a late substitute in a 2–1 Argentine Primera División win over Lanús on 27 February 2022.[6]

On 1 August 2023, Avilés signed with Major League Soccer club Inter Miami on a deal until the end of 2026.[7] On 26 August, he made his league debut in 2–0 win against New York City. In the season he made 11 appearances as Inter Miami would finish at the bottom-half of the table.

He would make his 2024 MLS debut on 21 February in a 2–0 win against Real Salt Lake but this time they finished the league with the most points in a Major League Soccer season, however they would leave the playoffs in the first round against Atlanta United.

On 22 February Avilés made his debut in the 2025 MLS season in a 2–2 draw against New York City, which he scored in the fifth minute and was sent off later.

Avilés was suspended for three games after throwing punches in Miami's 3–0 loss to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 Leagues Cup.[8]

In 2026, Avilés was sent on loan to CF Montréal. He switched to Chilean club O'Higgins for the second half of the year.[9]

International career

Avilés was born in Argentina, and is of Chilean descent through his maternal grandmother.[10] He played for the Chile U20s at both the 2022 South American Games[11] and the 2023 South American U-20 Championship.[12] He was then called up to play for the Argentina U20s at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[13]
