Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Cirio had a six-year youth spell at FC Barcelona's La Masia, but spent his senior career in Spain in the lower leagues, mainly Segunda División B. He started out with CF Badalona, before moving to CE Europa for the 2006–07 season.^[2]

In the 2007–08 campaign, Cirio played for Atromitos F.C. in Greece. He scored his first goal in the Super League on 2 September 2007 in a 2–1 home victory over Levadiakos FC, as his team were eventually relegated as 14th.^[3]

After spells with Orihuela CF, AE Prat and CE L'Hospitalet^[4] Cirio signed a two-year contract with Adelaide United FC of the A-League on 8 July 2013.^[5] He scored his first goal for the club on 18 October, a penalty in a 2–2 draw against Melbourne Victory FC.^[6] His first hat-trick in Australia came on 23 February 2014, in a 4–3 away loss to the same opposition.^[7]

In July 2017, after 20 goals and seven assists in four seasons, the 32-year-old Cirio returned to Spain and joined amateurs UD Ibiza.^[8] He netted 30 times in his first year (play-offs included), and they reached the third tier for the first time ever.^[9]

Cirio won another first-ever promotion at the end of 2020–21, now to Segunda División; he was by now only a fringe player due to an Achilles tendon injury.^[10] He retired before he had a chance to play professional football in his country, and started working with Ibiza's youth sides.^[11]
