Career

Melivillo's senior career started in 2009 with Platense in Primera B Nacional, with his debut coming on 28 November in a goalless draw at home to Aldosivi.[1] After seventeen more appearances during 2009–10, which included his first goal in March 2010 vs. Unión Santa Fe, Melivillo was loaned out to Almirante Brown following Platense's relegation to Primera B Metropolitana.[1] He remained with the club for two seasons, 2010–11 and 2011–12, and in total made thirty-five appearances whilst scoring three goals.[1] He returned to Platense in July 2012 and went onto make sixty-seven more appearances and scored six more.[3][4]

On 14 July 2014, Melivillo completed a move to fellow third tier team Chacarita Juniors.[5] He would score eight goals in twenty games in his first season which ended with promotion to Primera B Nacional.[1] In January 2015, Lanús signed Melivillo on loan.[6] He departed months later after just one appearance; vs. San Lorenzo in the Argentine Primera División on 28 March.[1] Chacarita won promotion from Primera B Nacional to the Primera División during 2016–17, a season that Melivillo spent out on loan with Flandria.[7] For Flandria, he scored five in forty-two matches with his first goal coming vs. Chacarita in 2016.[1][3]

Defensa y Justicia of the Primera División became Melivillo's sixth professional club in August 2017, he joined on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[8] After only three matches for Defensa y Justicia, he returned to Chacarita in December 2017 and was subsequently loaned out to Ecuadorian Serie A side Deportivo Cuenca.[1][9] He made his debut on 13 February in a Copa Sudamericana defeat to Sportivo Luqueño.[1] He scored his first goal for Deportivo Cuenca on 10 March, during a 4–1 loss away to Emelec.[1] Melivillo departed Chacarita Juniors in June 2018 to Central Córdoba.[1]

He scored two goals in twenty-one games for Central Córdoba, as well as one in three in the play-offs as they won promotion to the Primera División.[1] On 3 July, the left winger renewed his contract with the club.[10] In January 2020, Melivillo agreed a move to second tier Tigre.[1]
