Career

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 25 January 2003. [1]

After six months without a club, in February 2007, he accepted an offer from the relegation-battling Serie B side Bari. [2]

Scotland

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]

Newcastle Jets

On 8 February 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]

Italy return

In January 2011, he returned to Italy. [8]

Mosta

Vignaroli joined Maltese Premier League side Mosta on 23 January 2013.[ citation needed ]
