Club career

[edit]

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Vilanova was a FC Barcelona youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 8 January 2017, coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Dani Romera in a 3–1 Segunda División B away win over Atlético Saguntino.

On 12 August 2017, Vilanova was loaned to fellow third division side Hércules CF for the season.[2] He made his debut at the club on 15 October, starting and scoring the equalizer in a 3–2 home win over CF Peralada.[3]

In August 2018, after only one further match for Hércules, Vilanova left Barça and moved to another reserve team, RCD Mallorca B in Tercera División. On 31 December 2018, he signed for FC Andorra in the Primera Catalana.[4]

On 22 December 2021, after being a part of the squad who achieved an administrative promotion to Segunda División B in 2019 and later a qualification to the newly created Primera División RFEF in 2021, Vilanova renewed his contract with the Tricolors until 2024.[5] He was a regular starter for the club during the campaign, scoring four goals in 32 appearances overall and achieving a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.

Vilanova made his professional debut on 15 August 2022, starting in a 1–0 away win over Real Oviedo.[6]

On 23 July 2024, Vilanov signed with Alcorcón.[7]
