Born in Lanciano, the Province of Chieti, Di Cecco started his career in the provincial capital.
After the club bankrupted in 2006, Italian Serie A team Chievo signed Di Cecco on free transfer but immediately returned to Italian Serie C1 for Avellino with option to purchase for €500. In August 2007 Chievo excised the bought-back option for €20,000 (by selling Carbone and Mengoni) but renewed the temporary deal. Avellino relegated but re-admitted back to 2008–09 Serie B in the summer 2008, and renewed Di Cecco's loan.
In July 2009 Di Cecco was sold back to hometown club Lanciano in co-ownership deal[1] as the contract was running out. On 25 June 2010 Chievo sold the remains 50% registration rights to Lanciano.
On 30 August 2011 Di Cecco was loaned to Barletta.[2][3]
Catania signed Di Secco on 5 January 2016.[4]
