Club career

Born in Vigo, Galicia, he began playing football at his hometown club Real Vigo Sporting in 1914, and he helped Sporting to win five Galician Championships in 1913-14, 1916-17, 1918-19, 1919-20 and 1922-23.[3] He remained there until Sporting was merged with Fortuna de Vigo in 1923, to form Celta de Vigo. The Celta presentation match was held on 14 September 1923 between an A and a B team formed with the players from the club, taking advantage of the large team available that they had, however, both Chiarroni and Ramón González were absent from it.[4] Coincidence or not, the two of them, along with Luis Otero and Isidro, not satisfied with the discipline of this new club, left the entity before the start of the 1923 Galician Championship to sign for Deportivo de La Coruña, which was one of the triggers of the historical rivalry between the Vigo and Coruña teams. Celta sued Deportivo for bribery and these protests led the Galician Federation to suspend the four "runaway" footballers for a season, accusing them of professionalism, while Deportivo was forbidden of lining them up in the Galician Championship.[5][6]

With Celta he only played friendly matches, such as the one held in the summer of 1924 against the Uruguayan national team which would go on to win the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris.[7] At the end of his suspension in 1924, he officially became part of the Deportivo team, where he remained until 1929, winning the Galicia Championship two more times.

International career

Being a player of Real Vigo Sporting, he was summoned to play for the Galicia national team, and he was one of the eleven footballers that played in the team's first-ever game on 19 November 1922, a 4-1 win over a Castile/Madrid XI in the quarter-finals of the 1922-23 Prince of Asturias Cup, with Chiarroni being the author of the team's first-ever goal.[8] He also scored in the semi-finals in yet another 4-1 win, this time over a Andalusia XI, thus helping the team reach the final, which they lost 1-3 to Asturias.[1]
