Football career
Vila was born in O Porriño, Province of Pontevedra. Brought through the youth ranks of local team Celta de Vigo, he made his La Liga debut on 17 December 2006, playing 14 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Levante UD. He totalled ten official appearances during the season, including three (also as a substitute) in the campaign's UEFA Cup as the Galicians were eventually relegated.
Vila was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2008–09, with Celta now in the second division. He contributed with 15 games – 13 starts – in the 2011–12 season to help the club return to the top flight after an absence of five years.
In January 2014, completely ostracized by new manager Luis Enrique, Vila was loaned to Beitar Jerusalem F.C. in the Israeli Premier League until June. In July, he terminated his contract with Celta and signed with Real Oviedo in the third level.
