Career
Ledesma started his career with Olimpia, playing for them in two stints.[4] After scoring 10 goals in 19 games for Olimpia in the Paraguayan first division Apertura tournament he was signed by Independiente and moved to Argentina during the summer of 2007. Ledesma suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury at the start of the Apertura, delaying his first team debut and in January 2009 he returned to Olimpia.[5][2][6]
Still a player of Independiente, he had a trial with Sportivo Luqueño at the beginning of 2012,[5][7] but he finally signed with Rubio Ñu as a free agent. After, he moved to Chile and played for Naval, Coquimbo Unido[3] and Cobresal.[6] As a member of Cobresal, he won the 2015 Torneo Clausura, the first league title for the club.[8]
In the second half of 2015, Ledesma moved to Ecuador and signed with Quito.[9] The next year, he moved on loan to Argentina to play for Crucero del Norte.[6]
Back in Paraguay, he played for clubs in the División Intermedia such as Fernando de la Mora, Sportivo Trinidense, Ovetense FC, Resistencia[2] and 3 de Noviembre.[10]
