Francisco Cerro (born February 9, 1988) is an Argentine football midfielder who plays for Racing Club in the Argentine Primera División.
Club career
Cerro started his professional career in 2008 playing for Quilmes in the Primera B Nacional (Argentine second division). During the 2009–10 season, he helped Quilmes to obtain promotion to the Argentine Primera División. During his team's one-season stay in the Primera, Cerro played 23 games (9 in the 2010 Apertura[1] and 14 in the 2011 Clausura[2]), and scored two goals.
For the 2011–12 Argentine Primera División season, Cerro was loaned to Vélez Sársfield with a US$ 750,000 option to buy.[3] He signed his contract with Vélez on August 4, 2011.[4] Initially a substitute for Héctor Canteros, Cerro became a regular starter for the team during the 2012 Clausura and Copa Libertadores, playing 21 games during the semester.[5][6]
The midfielder was eventually purchased by Vélez and started 13 games (scoring once) during Vélez's 2012 Inicial title-winning campaign.[7]
International career
Cerro debuted for the Argentina national football team in 2012, playing a friendly against Brazil in a team formed exclusively with local league players.
