Carlo Pignatiello (born 16 January 2000) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Scottish Championship side Queen's Park.

Career

Pignatiello began his career at youth level with Rangers and later played for St Mirren before joining Livingston.[2] He had loan spells with BSC Glasgow in the Lowland League, where he was voted the club's Young Player of the Season,[3] and Stranraer in Scottish League One.[4]

He made his professional debut as a late substitute in a Scottish Premiership 3–2 defeat against Celtic in September 2020.[5] Pignatiello was loaned to Arbroath in February 2021.[6] He then joined Dumbarton on a season long loan in July 2021.[7] He scored his first goal for the Sons in a 3–1 victory against Sauchie Juniors in November 2021[8] and was named the club's Young Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year at the end of the season.[9]

On 23 May 2022, it was announced, via the club's website, that he would join Greenock Morton on a pre-contract deal.[10] He made his first appearance for the club in a pre-season friendly draw against Annan Athletic at Raydale Park.[11] Pignatiello left Morton by mutual consent at the end of the 2022–23 season, with the club saying he wished to pursue an opportunity outside of football.[12] He returned to Dumbarton on a two-year deal in May 2023[13] and was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year for the 2023–24 season[14] as he helped the Sons to promotion to Scottish League One.[15] He scored the club's first goal back in League One, a volleyed equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[16] After the club were relegated having entered administration, Pignatiello joined Scottish Championship side Queen's Park in June 2025.[17]
