Career

Racca's career started with local club Sarmiento.[2][3] He featured thirty-two times and scored three goals across the 2011–12 and 2012–13 seasons in Torneo Argentino B.[3] In June 2013, Racca was signed on loan by Primera B Metropolitana's Chacarita Juniors.[2][4] Twenty-six appearances followed, which preceded the club signing him permanently on 30 June 2014.[2] He subsequently scored his first goal for them, netting during a draw with Villa Dálmine on 23 September in a campaign which ended with promotion to Primera B Nacional.[2] After nineteen months in tier two, Racca was loaned to Deportivo Morón in 2016.[2][5]

He made his debut for Deportivo Morón on 30 August in the Copa Argentina against Newell's Old Boys, before scoring for the first time during a Primera B Metropolitana fixture with Platense as they went on to win the 2016–17 title.[2] Racca remained with Morón until June 2019.[2] Upon returning to Chacarita, Racca was immediately loaned back out again to Atlético de Rafaela.[6] He made sixteen appearances and scored three goals; versus Santamarina, Instituto and Quilmes.[2] Racca's loan with Rafaela expired in June 2020, with the defender subsequently announcing his retirement from professional football.[7]
