Ceceri, who also holds Italian citizenship, has garnered experience in recognized leagues around the world since making his pro debut with Argentine Primera División side Gimnasia y Esgrima eight years ago. He had lined up for: Steaua București: License of Spain; Club San Jose of Bolivia; Al-Hussein in Jordan; Unión San Felipe in Chile; and Sportivo Desamparados, Guillermo Brown, and Club Atlético San Telmo in Argentina.
