Career

He made 57 appearances in the Australian A-League in the early stages of his career; 22 at Canberra Cosmos, 26 at the (then) South Melbourne Lakers and 9 at Newcastle United. [4]

On trial with SK Brann of the Norwegian Premier League in 2001,[5] Magnacca saw Brann as a springboard to a higher league upon transferring to the club and was received well, earning a salary of about 30000 krone per month.[6] He then made his league debut opposing Bodø/Glimt,[7] in which Brann lost 5–1,[2] after being praised by the coach for his assiduous efforts in a friendly.[7] The Australian's debut would be his only appearance[2] in his loan to Norway which lasted just two months.[6]

He would not make any more professional appearances.
