Club career

Born in Buenos Aires, Pellerano made his senior debut in 2003 for Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield, going on to quickly establish as an important first-team element; in 2005 he was part of the squad that won the Clausura, even though he was a substitute for Fabricio Fuentes and Maximiliano Pellegrino (he played only one game as a starter).{{cite web|url=http://www.argentinesoccer.com/player_apps.cfm?id=hpel&Championship=cl05&Team=vel|title=Closing '05 statistics|publisher=Argentine Soccer|accessdate=16 January 2015}}

Pellerano became a regular after the former's departure, appearing in 15 matches in the 2005 Apertura tournament.{{cite web|url=http://www.argentinesoccer.com/player_apps.cfm?id=hpel&Championship=ap05&Team=vel|title=Opening '05|publisher=Argentine Soccer|accessdate=16 January 2015|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303215731/http://www.argentinesoccer.com/player_apps.cfm?id=hpel&Championship=ap05&Team=vel|url-status=dead}}
