Early life
editCostanzo was born in Sydney, to Angelo Costanzo, who played in Marconi at the time.[2] He didn't play football until his father moved to Newcastle Jets where he would find his passion of football while watching his father train.[3]
Club career
editYouth career
editCostanzo started playing in the youth leagues in NPL South Australia.[4] He eventually joined Adelaide United, where he would play in the reserve league until being released and joining Croydon Kings under his father who was Head Coach at the time.[3]
Senior career
editIn 2018, Costanzo played for Croydon's senior squad where he made his senior league debut against Para Hills Knights.[5] He left to rejoin Adelaide United for a year until being released and rejoining Croydon in 2020. He became the league's second top goalscorer only losing to Adelaide Comets captain and former A-League Men player Allan Welsh.[6] His impressive form would earn him interest from A-League clubs and, ultimately, sign a scholarship deal with Adelaide United at the conclusion of the season.[7]
Marconi Stallions
editAfter being released, Costanzo went on trial with Newcastle Jets and soon after, rejoined Croydon for a third time before moving to NSW.[8] On 23 February 2022, Costanzo was announced to have signed with Marconi Stallions following in the footsteps of his father who joined the Stallions in the early 2000s.[9]
