Club career

Banfield

Born in Ingeniero Luis A. Huergo, Río Negro Province, Cecchini joined Banfield's youth setup in 2010, from CSyD Huergo. [1] On 14 June 2013, he made his first team debut at the age of 16, coming on as a late substitute in a 4–2 away win against Defensa y Justicia in the Primera B Nacional.

Cecchini subsequently returned to the youth setup, only appearing once on the bench during the 2013–14 season as his side achieved promotion to the Primera División. He made his debut in the category on 21 February 2015, replacing Nicolás Bertolo in a 4–1 defeat of Atlético de Rafaela.

Cecchini became a regular starter under Julio César Falcioni during the 2016–17 campaign, and scored his first goal on 2 October 2016 by netting the winner in a 3–2 home success over San Martín de San Juan. [2]

Málaga

On 28 December 2017, Cecchini was loaned to Mexican Club León for the next six months without a buying option. [4] After appearing in only 63 minutes for the club, he returned to Banfield the following 25 June, also in a temporary deal. [5]

On 8 August 2019, Cecchini was loaned to Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) on the last day of the league's summer transfer window. [6] After again appearing rarely, he joined Unión de Santa Fe also in a temporary deal.

Cecchini was one of the eight first-team players released by Málaga on 3 October 2020, due to a layoff; his loan, however, is maintained until its expiration (January 2021), with the player being officially released afterwards. [7]
