Club career

CAI, River Plate and Vélez Sarsfield were youth teams of Toni.[4] The latter became Toni's first senior club in 2017.[1][5] He made his professional bow in the Argentine Primera División during 2016–17, appearing in the second half of a 0–3 defeat of Tigre on 3 June 2017.[1][6] Toni completed a season-long loan move to Talleres in August 2018.[1] Just two appearances followed.[1] July 2019 saw Toni loaned to Primera B Nacional with Alvarado.[1] However, the defender ended his stay there in the succeeding January after not appearing competitively.[1][7] A further loan move to Deportivo Armenio was soon completed.[1]

Toni participated in eight Primera B Metropolitana matches for Armenio, prior to returning to his parent club midway through 2020.[1][8]

On 21 February 2021, Toni got his contract with Vélez Sarsfield terminated by mutual agreement.[9] In August 2021 it was confirmed, that 23-year old Toni had decided to retire from football.[10]
