Joaquín Ariel Novillo (born 19 February 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Chilean Primera División club Deportes Iquique.[3]

Club career

Novillo played for Belgrano at youth level, notably being selected as part of their squad for the 2016 Torneo di Viareggio in Italy.[4][5] He was moved by Diego Osella into his senior squad after the 2018–19 Primera División's mid-season break, subsequently appearing for his senior bow in a goalless draw in the league with Unión Santa Fe on 27 January 2019; he participated in the full ninety minutes, picking up a yellow card in the process.[3][6]

Once returning from a loan spell at Racing Club in 2021, Novillo was sent out on loan once again in January 2022, this time to Colón until the end of the year.[7]

On 2 January 2023, Novillo signed for Huracán on a season-long loan from Belgrano, with a future option to make the move permanent.[8]

On 14 August 2023, Belgrano sent Novillo on a season-long loan to Primeira Liga side Vizela.[9]

In January 2024, after having failed to make any appearances for Vizela, Belgrano's loan was cancelled and he joined recently promoted to Chilean Primera División club Deportes Iquique.[10]

International career

In 2019, Novillo received an U23 call-up for Pan American Games in Peru.[11] Argentina won the competition, as Novillo appeared in five matches.[3]
