Club career

Small and stocky built, Magro made his debut for hometown club Valletta in February 1970 against Sliema Wanderers and won 4 league titles and 3 domestic cups with the club.

International career

Nicknamed il-Maxi, Magro made his debut for Malta in a September 1973 friendly match against Canada and earned a total of 24 caps (including 1 unofficial), scoring 2 goals. One of his goals was in a famous win over Greece in 1975, Malta's first-ever competitive game win. His final international was an October 1979 European Championship qualification match against Turkey.
