Vasudeva Das Lilley Nuñez (Chinese: 勞烈斯; born 22 November 1995), commonly known as Vas Nuñez, is a Hong Kong professional footballer who currently plays as a centre back for China League One club Guangxi Pingguo Haliao.

Club career

Núñez joined Eastern in 2015, and was loaned to Metro Gallery for the 2015–16 season.

Núñez scored his first professional goal for Metro Gallery on 6 March 2016, in a 2–3 away loss to Wong Tai Sin.[1]

On 4 July 2017, R&F announced that they had acquired Núñez from Eastern.[2] On 14 October 2020, Núñez left the club after his club's withdrawal from the HKPL in the new season.

In February 2021, it was reported that Núñez would join China League One club Meizhou Hakka.[3]

On 21 August 2022, Núñez joined Dalian Pro.[4] He contributed an assist in his second start for the club, helping his club to secure a 2–2 draw against Beijing Guoan on 24 September 2022.

On 8 January 2024, Núñez joined Guangxi Pingguo Haliao.[5]

International career

On 4 May 2018, Núñez was granted the Hong Kong SAR Passport.[6] He was then called up to the U-23 squad for the 2018 Asian Games.

On 11 July 2022, Núñez was named to the preliminary squad in preparation for the 2022 EAFF E-1 Football Championship.

Personal life

The fifth of six children, Núñez was born in Hong Kong to a British father and a Mexican mother.[8] His parents divorced when he was young, and he and his five siblings grew up on Lamma Island where they lived in poverty.[9] Due to the family's financial situation, they were nearly homeless on three to four occasions, and Nuñez was forced to drop out of school after Secondary 3 as his family could no longer afford it.[10]
