Career[edit]

Melillo played for the youth system of Boca Juniors, before spending time with the academies of River Plate and Tigre.[3] Melillo applied for Italian citizenship at the age of fifteen, while playing five-a-side football in Bari.[3] He went back to Argentina months later, but returned to Italy after agreeing terms of San Basilio Palestrina.[3] He won promotion from the Eccellenza in his time there, as he also had a trial at Napoli.[3][4] A return to his homeland came again, as the midfielder played for Racing Club of the Primera División from 2013.[1] Appearances in the 2013–14 campaign against Colón, Estudiantes and Godoy Cruz came.[1][5]

In 2015, Melillo was loaned to Primera B Nacional's Unión Mar del Plata.[1] Ten matches followed as they suffered relegation, he was notably sent off during his final encounter on 8 November 2015 versus Guillermo Brown.[1] 2016 saw Melillo sign for Eccellenza Sicily side Troina.[3] They, in 2016–17, won a place in the 2017–18 Serie D; where he appeared fifteen times and scored once.[3][6] On 27 July 2018, Serie C outfit Vibonese signed Melillo.[7][8] His opening appearances arrived in the succeeding September in fixtures with Bisceglie, Trapani and Catanzaro.[1][9] Ahead of 2019–20, Melillo joined FC Messina of Serie D.[10]

After ten appearances for Messina, Melillo headed across Serie D to Savoia; who he'd appear three times for.[6][11] In February 2021, Melillo joined league rivals Fasano.[12]
