Career

edit

Acevedo's career started with Newell's Old Boys in 2008, but he left a year later before eventually joining Tiro Federal.[2] He featured for their senior squad during the 2012–13 Torneo Argentino A season prior to signing for Rosario Central of the Argentine Primera División.[1][3] After being an unused substitute three times in 2013–14, Acevedo made his professional debut in the following campaign of 2014 during a draw with Quilmes; which was followed by his first goal against San Lorenzo two games later.[1] He ended 2014 with two goals in twelve matches in all competitions for Rosario Central under Miguel Ángel Russo.[1]

In January 2015, fellow Primera División side Nueva Chicago loaned Acevedo.[1] He was subsequently selected six times.[1] 2016 saw Acevedo have loan spells with Estudiantes and Ferro Carril Oeste in Primera B Nacional.[1][4] He followed one goal in twenty-one fixtures for Estudiantes in 2016 with one in nine for Ferro Carril Oeste in 2016–17.[1] A loan move to Santamarina was completed on 21 February 2017.[1] Five months later, Acevedo joined San Martín on a two-year loan.[1][5] They were promoted in 2017–18, with his last appearance coming versus Sarmiento on 3 June 2018; San Martín won 5–1 as Acevedo scored two.[6]

San Martín signed Acevedo permanently ahead of the 2018–19 Argentine Primera División season.[7][8] Ahead of the 2019/20 season, Acevedo joined Club Atlético Colón.[9]
