Franco Maximiliano Lefiñir (born 23 October 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Huracán de White.[1]

Career[edit]

Tiro Federal de Bahía Blanca [es] gave Lefiñir his start in senior football in 2007, with the midfielder featuring for the Torneo Argentino C club as they suffered 2009 relegation.[2][3] 2012 saw Lefiñir join Racing de Trelew in Torneo Argentino B, remaining for one season whilst making twenty-seven appearances and scoring four goals.[2] He returned to Tiro Federal ahead of the 2013–14 campaign, with the club now in the fourth tier.[2] In the succeeding season, Tiro Federal were promoted to Torneo Federal A.[2][4] His first goals at that level arrived on 22 May 2015 during a match away to General Belgrano, netting a brace in a 0–3 victory.[1] Three further goals came.[1]

In 2016, having netted another double away to General Belgrano, Tiro Federal were relegated to Torneo Federal B.[1] Two years later, in June 2018, Lefiñir completed a move to Primera B Nacional's Olimpo.[1] He made his professional debut against Sarmiento on 26 August.[1]

After playing for Liniers de Bahía Blanca from 2020 to 2023, Lefiñir signed with Huracán de White for the 2024 season.[5]

Personal life[edit]
