context_page_description: Peter Ian Vincenti is a professional footballer from Jersey who plays for League Two club Macclesfield Town. He primarily plays as a winger, although he has also been deployed in attacking midfield, and as a forward.
  Vincenti began his career as a youth player for First Tower United, where he played for one year, before moving to his hometown club St. Peter. He spent two years with St. Peter. Vincenti joined Millwall on a short-term contract following a successful trial period. However, he did not to break into the first-team and left the club when his contract expired in January 2008. He subsequently signed for Stevenage Borough the same month, and was part of the side that won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium during the 2008–09 season. The following season, he helped the club earn promotion to the Football League by winning the Conference Premier.
  In October 2010, Vincenti joined Conference Premier club Mansfield Town on an initial three-month loan. Shortly after returning to his parent club, he signed for Aldershot Town, spending two-and-a-half years with the club and making over 100 appearances.
context_section_description: When his contract at Millwall expired, Vincenti joined Stevenage Borough on a free transfer on 4 January 2008. He made his debut for the club in a 5–0 victory against Droylsden on 19 January 2008. Five days after his debut, on 24 January 2008, Vincenti signed a contract extension until 2010 having impressed manager Peter Taylor. He played twelve times for Stevenage towards the latter stages of the club's 2007–08 campaign, scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–1 win over Crawley Town on 1 March 2008. Vincenti was transfer-listed following Graham Westley's reappointment as manager in May 2008.
  After Stevenage started the 2008–09 season by losing three out of the first four opening games, conceding 13 goals in the process, Vincenti made his first appearance of the season in the club's fifth game, a 1–1 draw with Crawley Town. Vincenti's return to the first team coincided with an upturn in form for the Hertfordshire club, and he was taken off the transfer list by Westley in September 2008. He scored against Stevenage's local rivals Woking in a 1–0 win on 1 November 2008, scoring from 25-yards. Vincenti scored the only goal of the game with the last-kick of the match in the second leg of the FA Trophy semi-final against Ebbsfleet United on 21 March 2009. The win meant that Stevenage had secured their place in the final at Wembley Stadium, which he subsequently started as Stevenage beat York City 2–0. Vincenti played 31 times during his first full season with the club, scoring four times.
  Before the start of the 2009–10 season, Vincenti was loaned to Conference South club Woking on a three-month deal after playing in a trial match for the club. The following day, Stevenage played out a 0–0 draw with Woking in their final pre-season fixture, and despite joining the latter on-loan, Vincenti featured for his parent club. Shortly after the match, it was then announced that Vincenti's loan deal to Woking had fallen through after Westley decided he wanted to keep the player as cover. Vincenti played in five of the first six games of the season, all of which as a substitute, and started the following game against Histon on 31 August 2009, but was sent-off in the sixth-minute for violent conduct. In October 2009, he came on as a substitute to score a 94th-minute winner in the FA Cup against Chelmsford City. It proved to be Vincenti's only goal of the season, playing 26 times in all competitions during the club's campaign, a season where Stevenage earned promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club's history.
  He started in the club's first Football League match against Macclesfield Town on 7 August 2010, scoring Stevenage's first ever Football League goal in the sixth minute of the match; heading in Charlie Griffin's cross from close-range in a match that ended 2–2. Vincenti's goal was also the first goal of the 2010–11 League Two season. During his three years at Stevenage, Vincenti scored seven times in 77 appearances.
  In October 2010, Vincenti joined Conference Premier club Mansfield Town on an initial three-month loan deal, with a view to the agreement being made permanent in January 2011. He made his Mansfield debut in the club's 4–1 home loss to Crawley Town, playing 75 minutes of the match before being substituted. Vincenti made four appearances during the loan spell.
