The 'magician' from Arguineguín arrived at the VCF Academy at U14 level A young Silva was brimming with with magic at the Ciutat Esportiva de Paterna. The small midfielder grew up until he arrived at VCF Mestalla and showed his tremendous quality on the pitch.

After two loan spells with SD Eibar and another with Celta Vigo, Silva returned to VCF Mestalla in 2006, eager to make a name for himself in the squad. Quique Sánchez Flores gave him the opportunity and he took it up.

The Canary Islander was one of the important pillars of that season, in which he scored 11 goals. Three seasons later, a Copa del Rey trophy (2008), 167 official appearances, 38 goals and 38 assists, in 2010 Silva left Valencia Club de Fútbol as a legend of the Club.
