He started his career in Serie B (Italian 2nd divisione) with FC Potenza. Boninsegna gained a status as an efficient striker with Internazionale and Italy in the 1970s. In Serie A he totalled 171 goals in 281 games, and was top goalscorer in Italy in 1971 and 1972. He finished his career at Juventus.
