In 2023, Villar joined Millesimo in Prima Categoria,[5] the seventh level in the Italian football league system; in the 2023-24 season the team achieved a double, winning both the Group A of Prima Categoria Liguria and the regional category cup. Moreover, Villar was the top scorer of Group A with 17 goals.[1] The following season, in Promozione, ended with another title and consequently with the team's promotion to the fifth (and highest regional) level, with Villar once again being the league's top scorer with 23 goals.[6]
