Club career

Ledesma had a spell in the ranks of Racing Club de Pergamino, which preceded a move to Rosario Central in 2006.[2][1][3][4] He first appeared in the club's first-team squad in June 2013 when he was an unused substitute for Primera B Nacional matches versus Instituto and Deportivo Merlo.[1][5] However, it took Ledesma almost five further seasons to make his professional debut.[1][6] It eventually arrived on 25 April 2017 during a Copa Argentina game with Cañuelas, he played the full duration of a 1–0 win.[1] Six months later, in October, he made his domestic league bow in the Argentine Primera División versus Tigre.[1][7]

On 25 August 2020, Ledesma moved abroad for the first time in his career after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with La Liga newcomers Cádiz with a purchase option.[8] His first appearance came in an away win against Athletic Bilbao on 1 October.[1] His 100th career match arrived on 29 December in a goalless draw with Valladolid.[1] Ledesma finished the 2020-21 season with 32 appearances before Cádiz triggered the purchase option on 22 May 2021, with Ledesma signing a deal with the Spanish club until the end of June 2025.[9]

International career

In October 2020, Ledesma received a call-up from the Argentina senior squad under manager Lionel Scaloni; to replace the injured Juan Musso.[2][10]

He was part of the Argentina under-23 squad at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, as the overage players allowed per squad.
