Career
Huddersfield Town
Born in Elland, West Yorkshire, Racchi joined the Huddersfield Town youth system at the age of eight and signed a professional contract on 1 July 2006.[1][3] He continued to train with the Academy before getting his first call-up to the first team for Huddersfield's game against Port Vale on 31 March 2007, in which he replaced John McAliskey as a substitute with 10 minutes remaining.[4][5]
On 15 May, he signed a one-year contract with Huddersfield.[6] Although, he had yet to make his full debut for Huddersfield, manager Andy Ritchie said at the time that he and some of the other academy players such as Lucas Akins and Mitchell Bailey still had a good future at the club. After three appearances during the 2007–08 season, he was released from the club in May 2008 by new manager Stan Ternent.
Bury
On 28 July, he signed for League Two side Bury.[7] In his first season at the club, Racchi made 23 appearances in all competitions mainly as back up to on-loan winger Elliott Bennett,[8] helping the club reach the play-offs. At the end of the 2009–10 season, he was released by the club.[9]
Wrexham
He joined Conference National club Wrexham on trial and appeared in their pre-season friendly matches against Crewe Alexandra and Stoke City, hoping to win a contract for the coming season.[10][11] On 16 August signed with the Welsh club on a non-contract basis.[12]
York City
He had a trial with fellow Conference team York City in September 2010 and played for the reserve team in a 1–1 draw against Chesterfield.[13] He eventually signed on a one-month contract on 18 September and made his debut that day after starting in a 2–0 victory over Hayes & Yeading United before being substituted in the 52nd minute.[14][15] Racchi's contract was extended on 19 October by new manager Gary Mills, who said "I have been impressed with his enthusiasm and qualities".[16] His first goal for the club came with the opener in a 2–0 victory at Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on 23 October.[17] He scored his first league goal with the opener from a 25 yard direct free kick in a 4–0 victory at Rushden & Diamonds on 20 November.[18][19] He left the club on 17 December after his contract expired, although Mills said he wanted to re-sign him once the January transfer window opened.[20] Racchi accepted a contract with York that would last until the end of the 2010–11 season on 27 December, which was signed on 1 January 2011.[21][22] After requesting a transfer he was released from his contact with immediate effect on 7 April, having been unable to hold down a regular place in the team.[23]
Kilmarnock
Following a trial he was offered a two-year contract by Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock in May.[24] He signed for them on 21 June 2011.[25] Racchi made his official debut for Kilmarnock on Sunday September 17, 2011 in a 2-2 draw away to Aberdeen coming on as a second half substitute.
Personal life
While Racchi was born in England, he is of Italian heritage.[12]
