Career

Born in Munich, Ghigani began playing amateur football with FC Aschheim. His father was Tunisian, and Ghigani played for two seasons in the Tunisian first division with Club Africain. He would return to Germany and join German second division side LR Ahlen for the 2002–03 season, appearing in just one league match due to knee injuries. After a return spell in the Tunisian first division with Stade Tunisien and a spell with German amateurs Kickers Emden, he returned to the German second division with SpVgg Unterhaching.[4] He made 48 league appearances in two seasons with Unterhaching. However, he was released from the club in the summer of 2007, and after spending the remainder of 2007 without a club, he dropped down to play in the Regionalliga with SC Pfullendorf.[5]

In January 2009, Ghigani moved to Greece, joining Rodos F.C. in the third division. After helping the club gain promotion, he stayed in the third division by moving to Panargiakos F.C. for the following season. A move to third division side Panegialios followed.

In late 2012, he decided to return to Germany to play amateur football for SpVgg Feldmoching, having bought a house in Munich.[6]
