Fabio Vignaroli (born 7 June 1976) is an Italian former football midfielder who last played for the Maltese club Balzan.

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/serie_b_2007/giocatori/vignaroli_fab.shtml|language=Italian|publisher=La Gazzetta dello Sport|title=Serie B 2006/2007 - Fabio Vignaroli|accessdate=2007-09-06}}

After six months without a club, in February 2007, he accepted an offer from the relegation-battling Serie B side Bari.{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=226621|language=Italian|publisher=Goal.com|title=Vignaroli e la maglia del Bari al rush finale: "Potevo andare all'estero, ma il blasone dei galletti mi ha convinto"|accessdate=2007-09-06|date=2007-02-05|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930200423/http://www.goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=226621|archivedate=30 September 2007}}

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.{{ cite web | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee/7687099.stm | title = Ex-Lazio striker gets Dens chance | publisher = BBC News | date = 2008-10-23 | accessdate = 2008-10-23 }}

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.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_div_1/7687802.stm|title=Morton v Dundee|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2008-10-25|accessdate=2008-10-25}}

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.{{cite news|url=http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26517 |title=Jets sign off on Italian job |publisher=Newcastle Jets website |date=2009-02-08 |accessdate=2009-02-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110219132902/http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=26517 |archivedate=2011-02-19 }}

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.{{cite news|url=https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/444784/v-for-vignaroli-jets-splash-the-cash-to-get-their-man/|title=V for Vignaroli - Jets splash the cash to get their man|first=James|last=Gardiner|newspaper=The Newcastle Herald|date=5 August 2009}} Unfortunately, Vignaroli was ruled out for the remainder of the 2009/2010 season after scans confirmed injuries to his right knee.{{cite news|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,26485359-5000940,00.html|title=Newcastle Jets blow as marquee player Fabio Vignaroli to miss rest of season|date=14 December 2009|accessdate=24 February 2011|work=Australian Associated Press|publisher=Published by foxsports.com.au}}
