Torsiglieri made his official debut for Sporting on 16 September 2010, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against Lille OSC for the UEFA Europa League group stage.[5] His first league appearance came on 24 October in a 1–0 home success over Rio Ave FC,[6] and he finished his only season with the Lions with 23 matches all competitions comprised, with the team ranking third 36 points behind eventual champions F.C. Porto.
In July 2011 Torsiglieri joined FC Metalist Kharkiv on loan,[7] and in December he signed a permanent five-year deal with the Ukrainian club.[8]
