Carlo Pignatiello, born on 16 January 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish right-back whose senior career has settled most clearly at Queen’s Park. He wears squad number 12 and has become a regular part of their first-team picture rather than a passing squad option.
His early senior football included Livingston, where he made one league appearance in 2020-21. That part of the story is brief enough. The larger shape of his career has come at Queen’s Park, where his role has been steadier and more substantial.
In 2025-26, Pignatiello has made 29 Championship appearances for Queen’s Park, along with three in the League Cup and two in the Scottish Cup. That gives him 34 appearances for the club across all competitions, without a goal, which is hardly unusual for a full-back whose value is not measured by the scoring column.
Pignatiello’s career to this point is chiefly a Queen’s Park one: a Scottish right-back with regular Championship minutes and a continuing place in their side. It is a plain, solid professional path, still being written at club level.
