Career
Gurrieri began his professional career at Italian side Ternana in 2007 after progressing from the youth and reserve teams. He went on to make six appearances for the club over two seasons. He joined Terza Categoria side Colligiana on loan for the 2008–09 season, where he made 16 appearances, scoring two goals. After being released by Ternana in May 2010, Gurrieri returned to his homeland and joined Uruguayan Segunda División side Sud América. He went on to make 20 appearances for the club before being released in March 2011.
Gurrieri joined Plymouth Argyle on trial in July 2011, but could not agree a deal due to the club being under administration at the time.[4] He later joined Burton Albion on trial in October 2011, signing a three-month deal.[5] He went on to sign a new contract which kept him at Burton Albion until the end of the 2011–12 season.
He returned to Plymouth Argyle on trial in the summer of 2012 and signed a 12-month contract in August to become the first South American player to represent the club.[6] Gurrieri scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 Football League Trophy win against Aldershot Town in October,[7] and his first Football League goal in a 3–1 win against Rochdale eleven days later.[8]
