Career
Amoroso had a youth spell with Centenario de Venado Tuerto, before beginning his senior career in Torneo Argentino C with Sportivo Rivadavia.[3][4] In 2011, Amoroso joined fellow Torneo Argentino C team Jorge Newbery.[4] He scored four goals in eighteen matches in his first season, which ended with promotion to Torneo Argentino B.[4] After twenty-four appearances and seven goals in Torneo Argentino B, Amoroso was signed by Primera B Nacional's Ferro Carril Oeste in June 2012.[4][5] A goalless tie with Olimpo on 13 August saw him make his professional debut, which was the first of nineteen matches for the club throughout 2012–13.[1]
On 21 July 2013, Amoroso joined Unión Mar del Plata of Torneo Argentino A.[1] He went on to scored nine times in forty-three games for Unión Mar del Plata over the course of 2013–14 and 2014.[1] In January 2015, Argentine Primera División side Olimpo signed Amoroso.[1][3] He made his debut on 7 March against Rosario Central, prior to scoring his first two goals in November during matches versus Banfield and Quilmes.[1] On 6 July 2016, Amoroso signed for fellow top-flight club Newell's Old Boys.[1][6] One goal in twenty-eight appearances followed, which preceded Amoroso departing on loan in September 2017 to Belgrano.[1][7]
Amoroso scored his first goal for Belgrano on 17 November, netting an 89th-minute winner away to parent club Newell's Old Boys.[1][8] He returned to them in June 2018, prior to terminating his contract in the succeeding February to subsequently join San Luis.[1][9] Amoroso remained for seven months, notching goals against Deportes Melipilla and Deportes Valdivia in the process.[1] On 6 July, Amoroso switched Chile for Peru by agreeing terms with Melgar.[1][10]
