Club career

Vélez

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).[1] After the former's departure he became a regular, appearing in 15 matches in the 2005 Apertura tournament.[2]

Almería

In the 2008–09 season, Pellerano moved abroad, joining UD Almería for a fee of around €3 million.[3] He scored on his official debut for the Andalusians, a 3–1 La Liga win at Athletic Bilbao on 31 August 2008,[4] and was a regular fixture in his first campaign.

Pellerano struggled heavily with injury in the following years,[5][6] only appearing in eight league matches in 2010–11 as Almería eventually ranked 20th and last. He returned to his country for the following season, joining Newell's Old Boys on loan.

Tijuana / Return to Argentina

In 2014, Pellerano joined Club Tijuana in the Liga MX, where he shared teams with his brother Cristian. After one year in Mexico, he returned to Vélez for the 2015 campaign.[7]

On 11 July 2015, Pellerano transferred to Club Atlético Independiente.

International career

In 2006, Pellerano was part of an Argentina-based national squad picked by Alfio Basile to train for the 2007 Copa América. However, he was not finally called for the tournament's final stages.

Personal life

Pellerano's older brother, Cristian, is also a professional footballer. They were teammates at Club Tijuana.
