Freddy Ariel Noguera Rolon (born 9 January 2004) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays as a forward for Uruguayan club Boston River on loan from the Brazilian side Grêmio.

Club career

Born in Eusebio Ayala in the Cordillera Department of Paraguay, Noguera began his career with Cerro Porteño before a move to Olimpia.[2][3] In a later interview, Noguera's father stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic in Paraguay, Olimpia failed to communicate with players, and because of this, he began exploring the possibility of joining a new club.[3]

In March 2022, he joined Grêmio, signing a four-year contract with a $30 million release clause.[2][4] Following his departure, former Olimpia youth coach Enrique Landaida stated that the club did all they could to keep Noguera at the club.[3] He scored on his debut for Grêmio's under-20 team; the only goal in their 1–0 win against Apafut.[2][5] In July 2023, he was included in the first-team squad ahead of a Série A match against Atlético Mineiro.[5] He made his professional debut in the 1–0 win on 22 July, coming on as a second-half substitute for André Henrique.[6]

International career

Noguera has represented Paraguay at under-20 level.[1]

Personal life

Noguera is the cousin of Ronaldo Martínez [es], a fellow footballer who also played for Cerro Porteño.[3]
