Career

Vegetti started his professional career playing for Club Colón de San Justo of the Liga Santafesina de Fútbol. After scoring 33 goals in 40 games, he signed for Villa San Carlos, playing in the Primera B Metropolitana. He scored 24 goals for Villa San Carlos, helping the team to gain promotion to Primera B Nacional, the second tier of Argentina's professional soccer.

C.S.D. Rangers

[edit | edit source]

In August 2013, he signed for Rangers, which bought 50% of his economic rights. After a mediocre performance in the Chilean team, in February 2014, he was loaned to Ferro Carril Oeste to play in the Primera B Nacional. He scored six goals in 20 games for Ferro. When he had everything set up to re-sign with Ferro, he unexpectedly signed for Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata. Technically, he was on loan to Gimnasia from Rangers for 18 months.

Vasco da Gama

[edit | edit source]

On 4 August 2023, he joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Vasco da Gama.[1] In his first match for the Brazilian club, on August 6, 2023, against Grêmio, Vegetti scored the goal that guaranteed Vasco's victory, the first of the season at São Januário. In the 2024 season, Vegetti was Vasco's top scorer with 23 goals (considering the state league) and in the Copa do Brasil with 7 goals.[2] After a victory over Puerto Cabello in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, Vegetti became the second highest foreign scorer in Vasco's history with 44 goals.[3]

Style of play

[edit | edit source]

Pablo Vegetti plays as a centre-forward and is known for his style of play that focuses on aerial play and physical strength. He stands out for his ability to finish with his head, taking advantage of his good momentum, height and positioning inside the area. He is considered by many to be one of the best headers in football.[4][5] Vegetti also stands out for his first-time finishes, whether with his head or with his feet.[6] In addition, Vegetti seeks associations with his teammates in attack and helps to retain the ball, being a player who troubles the opposing defense.

After scoring a goal, Vegetti is known for performing a "pirate" celebration, in which he places one hand in front of one eye and the other pointing forward. This celebration has earned him the affectionate nickname "Pirate" from fans.[7][8]
