Di Ciacca said of the Glasgow move: "One moment I was psyching myself up to lead West against Edinburgh Accies in Division Two. The next I was thrown in the deep end against one of the best teams in Europe. My ambition is to become a full-time professional and it has been important to get my foot in the door."

He played twice in the Heineken Cup for Glasgow[2]

He later signed for Edinburgh Rugby for season 2001-02[3][4] and played for them till 2004.[5] He made his first competitive start for Edinburgh in January 2002.[6]

After leaving Edinburgh in 2004, di Ciacca signed for Glasgow Hutchesons Aloysians RFC.

He played internationally for Scotland A.[7]

He studied hospitality at Glasgow Caledonian University. Since 2007 he has been the owner of the Amaretto restaurant in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire.[5]
