Club career

Laville is a product of the Newtown Juvenile Football Academy in his hometown of Mahaut. His coaches, including former national team manager Don Leogal, recognized him as a special talent from an early age.

At age fifteen, Laville joined Dominica Premier League club Harlem United. He was a central figure in Harlem's Dominica Football Association U20 Championship win in 2019 and First Division championships in 2019 and 2020. In 2020, he helped secure the championship with two goals in a come-from-behind victory over East Central FC. [3] Later that year, he was named the DFA Youth Player of the Year and his club's Footballer of the Year for his efforts. [1] That year, Harlem United also won the Knockout Recovery Cup with a victory over Bath Estate. Laville scored in the finals and was named Man of the Match. [4] In the finals of the 2022 President's Cup, Laville scored a hat-trick in a 7–1 victory over Glanvillia Renegades to win the championship. [5]

Laville began the 2023 season with Harlem United, scoring a brace against Pointe Michel FC and was named man of the match on the third matchday. [6] By June of that year, he had moved to Dublanc FC. He scored another brace against Pointe Michel FC en route to earning more Man of the Match honours. [7]

Laville represented Dominica at the youth level in the 2017 CONCACAF Boys' Under-15 Championship. He scored a goal in a friendly against Barbados in preparation for the tournament.

With the goal, he became the youngest-ever player to score in the CONCACAF Nations League.
