Matías Defederico

Matías Adrián Defederico (born 23 August 1989 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine football winger who currently plays for Club Agropecuario Argentino. Defederico is a fast, left-footed player with very good dribbling ability.

His surname was usually spelt as "De Federico". He declared to FourFourTwo Brasil that it must not be written separated.

His professional debut for Huracán was on 18 August 2007 in a 0–0 home draw with Tigre. From then on he played alternately between the reserve and first team until the arrival of Angel Cappa who gave him confidence and on the last date of the Apertura 2008, Defederico scored his first goal to open the scoring against Velez Sarsfield in Huracan's 3–0 victory at home. In the Clausura 2009 championship De Federico established himself as a regular first team player for the club under the management of Ángel Cappa. Defederico and teammate Javier Pastore formed part of an attacking formation that was described as fantastic by the Argentine press.

He was subsequently linked to Corinthians for $4 (US) million and was signed by them. Defederico had a weak performance with Corinthians, more specifically the directors of the club considering him physically weak. After many rumours, Andrés Sanchez, the Corinthians president, offered him to Independiente on loan for one year.

Finally on 30 December 2010 he signed for Club Atletico Independiente arriving on loan for one year without purchase option. After 6 months full of individual glory, despite multiple injuries which did not allow him to play many minutes, Independiente decided to rescind his loan 6 months ahead of schedule, if any club was interested. Colo-Colo was interested in hiring, but negotiations then cooled since Defederico once again came in the plans of Independiente coach Antonio Mohamed for the second half of the season.

On 20 March 2012 coach Christian Diaz decided to demote 6 players to the reserve team, including Defederico.

On 11 July 2012 Defederico decided to terminate his contract with Independiente, and went to recover in the facilities of Huracán. On 26 November 2012 he scored his first goal since his return to Huracan against Crucero del Norte.

He renewed his contract with Hurricane for the 2013/2014 season, and was part of the team that was very close to achieving promotion to the First Division after losing the tiebreaker against Independiente .He played 28 games and scored 4 goals to regain continuity after his injury.
