Club career

Spain

Born in Los Barrios, Cádiz, Andalusia, Pirulo joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in January 2009, after refusing to train with his previous club, Cádiz CF.[1][2] He made his senior debut for the former's reserves in 2011, in Tercera División.

On 8 July 2012 Pirulo signed for another reserve team, Atlético Malagueño also in the fourth tier.[3] The following year he moved to Segunda División B club CE L'Hospitalet,[4] scoring six goals in 30 appearances as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 30 June 2014 Pirulo returned to the Pericos and its B-team, now in the third division.[5] On 14 July 2015, he joined fellow league team CE Sabadell FC.[6]

Senica

In July 2016, Pirulo signed a contract with Slovak Super Liga club FK Senica, after impressing on a trial basis.[7] He made his professional debut on 16 July, starting in a 0–1 home loss against ŠK Slovan Bratislava.[8]
