*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Esteban Efraín Paredes Quintanilla (born 1 August 1980) is a Chilean former footballer who played as a forward.

Paredes is the first player to be five-time Primera División de Chile top goalscorer[1][2] and has scored 286 league goals in his career, highlighting his 217–Primera División de Chile goals record which allowed him to be the all time top goalscorer of Chilean first-tier tournaments history. On October 5, 2019, he achieved the record[3] surpassing Francisco Valdés[4] in a 3–2 win over Universidad de Chile in the Chilean Superclásico.

Club career

He began his career at Santiago Morning youth ranks and was promoted in 2000.

In 2009, he joined Chilean giants Colo-Colo on a three-year contract. That season, Paredes was an influential player and helped the team to win the Torneo Clausura. He was a key player in the final against Universidad Católica, scoring twice past Universidad Católica goalkeeper Paulo Garcés.[5]

In May 2022, after playing for Coquimbo Unido in the Chilean Primera División, and having scored 367 goals in his career, he announced his retirement as a professional footballer.[6]

International career

Paredes represented his country in two World Cups, in 2010 and 2014 respectively, and at the 2011 Copa América.

Personal life

His son, Esteban Paredes Lastra, was with the Colo-Colo youth ranks and then moved to Palestino when his father left Colo-Colo.[7]

In August 2022, he joined TNT Sports Chile as the co-host of the cooking and talk show Sabor a Gol alongside the chef Tomás Olivera.[8]
