Career

Varela played for Villa Cubas de Catamarca to start his youth career in 2006, though was signed by San Lorenzo soon after.[2] Two years later, Varela was selected for Proyecto Crecer; a project partly supported by Bordeaux.[3] Varela then joined Newell's Old Boys in 2014.[2] He made his senior debut on 10 December 2017 during a loss away to Rosario Central, which preceded Varela scoring his first goal versus Arsenal de Sarandí on 27 February 2018; a 92nd-minute winner in a 2–1 home victory.[1][4] He made nine further appearances, whilst netting another goal in April against Atlético Tucumán; which was also scored in additional time.[1]

On 2 August 2018, fellow Argentine Primera División side Godoy Cruz signed Varela.[1][5][6] His first appearance came against his former employers on 27 August.[1]
