Fabio Vignaroli (born June 7, 1976) is an Italian footballer who plays for Maltese club Balzan, where he plays as a midfielder.

Career

In January 2003 he accepted an offer from newly promoted Serie A team Modena, and marked 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 relegation-battling Serie B side Bari.[2]

Scotland

In October 2008, Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock took Vignaroli on trial for a week. With Kilmarnock unable to commit to the player until the January transfer window, Vignaroli was then taken on trial with fellow Scottish club Dundee F.C..[3]

Dundee caretaker manager Davie Farrell was hoping that he could play as a trialist in their league game against Morton, but SFA rules forbid players from abroad playing as trialists.[4]

Newcastle Jets

On February 8, 2009, the Newcastle Jets signed Vignaroli for a 6-month period on a deal which saw the veteran play for the club in the AFC Champions League 2009 tournament.[5]

Vignaroli became the highest paid player in Newcastle Jets history, after the 33-year-old marquee player signed a 1-year contract worth more than A$300,000.[6] Vignaroli was ruled out for the rest of the 2009/2010 season after scans confirmed injuries to his right knee.[7]

Italy return

In January 2011 he returned to Italy.[8]

Mosta

Vignaroli joined Maltese Premier League side Mosta on the 23 January 2013.
