Early life

Club career

Senior career
[edit]In 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]
