*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Fabio Vignaroli (born June 7, 1976) is an Italian former football midfielder who last played for the Maltese club Balzan.
In January 2003, he accepted an offer from the newly promoted Serie A team Modena and made his top-flight début in a 0-2 home loss to Atalanta on January 25, 2003.[1]
After six months without a club, in February 2007, he accepted an offer from the relegation-battling Serie B side Bari.[2]
In October 2008, Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock took Vignaroli on trial for a week. However, since Kilmarnock could not commit to the player until the January transfer window, Vignaroli then went on trial with fellow Scottish club Dundee F.C.[3]
Dundee caretaker manager Davie Farrell was hoping that Vignaroli could play as a trialist in their league game against Morton. However, SFA rules forbid players from abroad to play as trialists.[4]
On February 8, 2009, the Newcastle Jets signed Vignaroli for a 6-month period, allowing the veteran to play for the club in the AFC Champions League 2009 tournament.[5]
Vignaroli became the highest paid player in the history of the Newcastle Jets when the 33-year-old marquee player signed a 1-year contract worth over A$300,000.[6] Unfortunately, Vignaroli was ruled out for the remainder of the 2009/2010 season after scans confirmed injuries to his right knee.[7]
In January 2011, he returned to Italy.[8]
Vignaroli joined Maltese Premier League side Mosta on January 23, 2013.[citation needed]
