Club career

Early career

Estevez began playing soccer with the Etobicoke Energy before switching to Clarkson SC in Mississauga as well as playing futsal.[1] In 2016, when he was 18, he spent a year training with the lower teams of La Liga club Levante.[2][3] He then spent a week on trial with Queen's Park Rangers before returning to Canada.[4] In 2017, he attended Sheridan College, making seven appearances and scoring one goal for the Bruins.[5]

In 2018, Estevez played for League1 Ontario side North Mississauga SC, making eight appearances in league play.[6] He also played in the Canadian Soccer League with SC Waterloo Region.[7][8]

York9

In October 2018, Estevez participated in the Canadian Premier League Open Trials in Toronto, where he was highly rated by scouts.[9][10] On 8 February 2019, Estevez signed with CPL side York9.[10] On 4 May 2019, he made his professional debut as a starter in a match against Cavalry FC and assisted York's lone goal in a 2–1 loss.[11] Estevez scored his first goal for York on 27 July against HFX Wanderers, netting the final goal in a 6–2 victory.[12]

On December 10, 2019, it was announced that Estevez had re-signed for the upcoming season.[13]

ADO Den Haag

On May 12, 2020, York9 announced the sale of Estevez to Dutch Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag for an initial fee in the range of $100,000 CAD, plus add-ons and a sell on clause.[14] He agreed to a one-year contract with the club, with an option to extend for a further year.[15]

Estevez became the first player to move from the Canadian Premier League to a top-flight club in Europe,[16] the first ever Taiwanese player to ply his trade in the Dutch Eredivisie, and the third overall to play in a top European League.[17][18] He made his first appearance in a pre-season friendly against Almere City FC on 8 August, playing the second half.[19][20] Initially joining the first team, he was moved to begin the season with the U21 side.[21] On January 29, 2021, he and the club agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, after he appeared in only two substitute appearances for the U21 side.[22][23]

Ourense CF

In 2021, he joined Ourense CF, playing in the Spanish Tercera División.[24] After departing Spain, he returned to Canada and trained (but did not sign) with his former club York United FC (who had since changed their name from York9 FC).[25]

International career

In 2018, Estevez was invited to train with the Chinese Taipei national team.[26] In February 2019, shortly after signing for York9, Estevez received another call-up from Chinese Taipei for a friendly against the Solomon Islands, but did not appear in the match due to injury.[26][27] He made his debut as a starter in their loss to Australia during 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification on October 15, 2019.[28]

Personal life

Born in Toronto to a Spanish father and a Taiwanese Hakka mother, Estevez was eligible to represent Canada, Chinese Taipei or Spain internationally.[1]

Despite the similarity in name to actor Emilio Estevez, he was actually named after former Real Madrid player Emilio Butragueño.[4]
