Club career

Cellerino began his career at Boca Juniors football academy (despite being a supporter of rival club River Plate). In January 2007, he left the Boca youth ranks and joined Peruvian first-tier side Universidad San Martín, where he helped the team claim the league title. However shortly after achieving the league title, he went on trial with Peñarol but failed to join the team.

After his spell at Peru and the unsuccessful trial in Uruguay, Cellerino signed for Chilean Primera División club Rangers to play the Torneo de Apertura, having his breakthrough season the following year netting 16 goals and being runner-up in the Torneo Clausura top-scorers table behind Lucas Barrios. However, in the same tournament, he scored a bicycle kick goal in the playoffs first-leg semifinal against Palestino, which was applauded by the referee Carlos Chandía.

On 25 January 2009, it was reported that Cellerino would move to Serie B club Livorno, after refusing other offers from Lazio and Chilean powerhouse Colo-Colo previously. In January 2010, Celta Vigo signed him on loan to play at the Liga Adelante, being he was loaned again in June 2011 to Argentina’s Racing Club, which would mark first professional spell in his homeland.

On 10 February 2012, after being released by Livorno, Cellerino returned to Chile and signed for first-tier Unión La Calera, the team that beat O’Higgins’ in securing his services.

On August 17, 2015, the New York Cosmos announced they had signed Cellerino.
