Club career
Alvin Ceccoli is of
2003/04
.
He was one of seven players signed by
Asian Cup in 2007, as a reward for an excellent season with Sydney FC. During the second season with Sydney however, he had some disagreements with new coach Terry Butcher
which soured his relationship with the club, and he sought a move elsewhere.
A transfer to Japanese second division team Avispa Fukuoka allowed him to reunite with former Sydney coach Pierre Littbarski, and was formally released by Sydney on 16 January 2007.[3] He spent close to a year at Avispa and was released at the end of the season.
On 3 January 2008 Ceccoli signed a contract for the remainder of the
A-League club in as many years, but was notably absent from Adelaide's first two ACL matches. On 20 March 2008 it was revealed he had left the club to return home to Wollongong to be close to his young family.[5] Staying locally, he has joined Illawarra Premier League
club Dandaloo FC for 2008. In 2015, he was selected in Sydney FC's team of the decade.
After leading Corrimal Rangers FC to Grand Final glory in the 2019 season of the Illawarra Premier League Ceccoli decided to retire due to ongoing injury problems. He is held in high regard in the Illawarra region as a pioneer of local football. Ceccoli now takes on an Assistant Coach role alongside Roger Jonovski at Corrimal Rangers focusing on youth development pathways.[6]
