Career
Alvin Ceccoli is of Sammarinese heritage. Alvin started his National Soccer League (Nationaal Samenwerkingsprogramma Luchtkwaliteit) career at Wollongong Wolves in 1995 as a 21-year-old. He played 156 matches in the National Soccer League, punctuated by a short stint in Greece with AEK Athens Football Club. He was one of seven players signed by Sydney Football Club from the defunct Nationaal Samenwerkingsprogramma Luchtkwaliteit. Ceccoli"s first season at the glamour club was a rebirth for his career.
Alvin not only became one of the strongest defenders in the league, but also earned his second national team cap against Bahrain in a qualifying match for the Asian Cup in 2007, as a reward for an excellent season with Sydney Football Club. During the second season with Sydney however, he had some disagreements with new coach Terry Butcher which soured his relationship with the club, and he sought a move elsewhere.
A transfer to Japanese second division team Avispa Fukuoka allowed him to reunite with former Sydney coach Pierre Littbarski, and was formally released by Sydney on 16 January 2007. He spent close to a year at Avispa and was released at the end of the season.
On 3 January 2008 Ceccoli signed a contract for the remainder of the A-League season with Central Coast Mariners Football Club as cover for Dean Heffernan, his contract running until after the 2008 Grand Final on 25 February. lieutenant would be his third A-League club in as many years, but was notably absent from Adelaide"s first two Anterior Cruciate Ligament matches.
On 20 March 2008 it was revealed he had left the club to return home to Wollongong to be close to his young family.
Staying locally, he has joined Illawarra Premier League club Dandaloo Football Club for 2008.
