Career

edit

Graciani's first club were Colón, with whom he made ninety-seven appearances and scored eight goals in the Argentine Primera División. His first goal came during his third career appearance in a home loss to Gimnasia y Esgrima on 25 February 2011.[1][2] Graciani also scored goals on his domestic cup and continental cup debuts, netting in a win over Talleres in the Copa Argentina in November 2011 and against Racing Club in the Copa Sudamericana in August 2012.[1] On 13 July 2014 Graciani joined fellow Primera División team Estudiantes.[3] He made his Estudiantes debut on 11 August versus Arsenal de Sarandí.[1]

2015 saw Graciani leave Estudiantes on loan twice.[1] First was on 8 February to Independiente where he featured six times before returning.[1] Second on 30 June to Atlético de Rafaela where he remained until 2016 after four goals in twenty-five appearances.[1][4] He returned to Estudiantes for the 2016 – 2017 campaign and featured seven times, but was loaned out for a third time midway through the season to Patronato.[5] He scored on his Patronato debut against Arsenal de Sarandí on 10 March 2017.[1] In September 2017 Graciani left Estudiantes permanently to play for San Martín of Primera B Nacional.[6]

San Martín won promotion in 2017 – 2018, though Graciani subsequently departed to join Olimpo; a recently relegated Primera B Nacional team.[1]

In 2024, he moved abroad and signed with Chilean club Ñublense.[7]
