Career edit

On trial with SK Brann of the Norwegian Premier League in 2001,[4] Magnacca saw Brann as a springboard to a higher league upon transferring to the club and was received well, earning a salary of about 30000 krone per month.[5] He then made his league debut opposing Bodø/Glimt,[6] in which Brann lost 5–1,[2] after being praised by the coach for his assiduous efforts in a friendly.[6] The Australian's debut would be his only appearance[2] in his loan to Norway which lasted just two months.[5]
