Anthony Magnacca (born 9 April 1978) is an Australian retired soccer player who played as a midfielder. He played in the Norwegian Premier League, his first professional stint, in 2001.
He made 57 appearances in the Australian A-League in the early stages of his career; 22 at Canberra Cosmos, 26 at the (then) South Melbourne Lakers and 9 at Newcastle United. [3]
On trial with SK Brann of the Norwegian Premier League in 2001,[4] Magnacca saw Brann as a springboard to a higher league upon transferring to the club and was received well, earning a salary of about 30000 krone per month.[5] He then made his league debut opposing Bodø/Glimt, in which Brann lost 5–1, after being praised by the coach for his assiduous efforts in a friendly.[6] The Australian's debut would be his only appearance in his loan to Norway which lasted just two months.
He would not make any more professional appearances.
