Career

Civelli started his career at Banfield in the Primera Division Argentina. After 2 years with the club he was signed by Marseille in January 2006, during the European winter transfer window. He returned to Argentina on a one year loan contract after the 2006–07 season, joining Gimnasia at the start of the 2007 Apertura. From Feb 2009, due to the Julien Rodriguez's injury, he played as central defender for several matches gaining respect from both manager and supporters.

Without a place in the team and after becoming Free Agent, Renato returned to Argentina to play in San Lorenzo de Almagro during the 2009–2010 league after refusing several offers made by English, German, Spanish, Italian and Belgian teams. On January 13, 2010, the Argentine agreed a contract with OGC Nice.[1]

On 15 July 2013, Civelli joined Turkish Süper Lig for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-year contract.[2]

Personal life

His younger brother Luciano is also a professional footballer, currently playing for Universidad de Chile in the Chilean Primera División.
