Career

Western Sydney Wanderers

In 2017 while competing in the U20s NPL NSW 2 for Western Sydney Wanderers, Silvera was honoured as the Wanderers U20 Player of the Year.[1]

Central Coast Mariners

After being released by the Wanderers at the end of the 2018/19 season, Silvera was snapped up by the Central Coast Mariners on a one-year scholarship 21 June 2019 after an initial trial period with the club.[2] On 31 July 2019, Silvera made his professional debut in a Round of 32 FFA Cup clash against Maitland, playing the full 90 minutes and providing an assist for Michael McGlinchey's second goal.[3] He scored his first professional goal in Central Coast's 2-2 draw with Brisbane Roar in the Round of 16 of the FFA Cup on 28 August 2019, scoring their second goal as they went on to win the game 4-2 on penalties.[4][5] Following an encouraging pre-season, Silvera agreed to a new three-year deal with the Mariners, tying him to the club until 2022.[6]

He went on trial with LAFC of Major League Soccer at the start of the 2020 season.
