Nanetti progressed through the youth ranks of Queens Park Rangers and scored three goals in 23 appearances during his first season with the Under-18s. He scored 11 goals in 15 games for the Reserves the following season, but struggled to break into the first team and went out on loan.[1]
A 2010 appearance in Soccer AM's 'Skill Skool' saw him beat Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling in a freestyle competition.[2]
Raith Rovers (loan)
In September 2010, Nanetti joined Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers on a one-month loan. Making his debut in a 3-2 reserve fixture win over East Stirlingshire, he then made his stay permanent. He remained with the club until his release in December 2010.[3]
Non-league football
Upon returning to England, Nanetti joined Ashford Town before going on to play for Harrow Borough, Lewes and AFC Wimbledon. He spent three seasons at Conference South club Havant & Waterlooville, before joining Conference National side Dover Athletic.[4]
After suffering a broken foot and missing the remainder of the season following a spell at Whitehawk on loan, Nanetti spent 10 months in rehabilitation.[5] Nanetti dropped down to the Isthmian League and played for Walton Casuals, East Grinstead Town and Thamesmead Town upon returning to fitness.[6]
After a brief spell at Concord Rangers, Nanetti joined Welling United in September 2016. He scored 3 goals in 14 appearances for the club before earning a trial at Irish club Cork City.
