Early life

Aguilar was born in Stevenage, England, but his family moved to Spain six weeks after his birth. He played football for local teams in Spain before his family moved to London when he was eleven.

Club career

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

In August 2023, it was reported that Peruvian Liga 1 side Sporting Cristal were looking at signing Aguilar. The following month, Peruvian newspaper Depor [es] reported that, despite interest from Swedish side AFC Eskilstuna, Aguilar was set to join Sporting Cristal. 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.

International career

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