Single skating career

Early years

Circelli began learning to skate in 2007.[1] He won the novice men's title at the 2017 Canadian Championships.

He made his ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut in September 2017, placing 14th in Riga, Latvia. Competing in the junior men's category, he won silver at the 2018 Canadian Championships and bronze at the 2019 Canadian Championships. At the time, he was coached by Lee Barkell.[3][4]

2019–20 season: Canadian junior national title

Circelli changed coaches for the 2019–20 season, deciding to train under Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson.[5] He placed tenth at his JGP assignment in September 2019 in Poland.

Circelli sustained a torn meniscus in his right knee in late December 2019.[6] In January, he won the national junior men's title at the 2020 Canadian Championships.[6]

2020–21 season

The 2020–21 season was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with rink closures and event cancellations. Circelli won bronze in the senior men's event at the Skate Canada Challenge.[2] He qualified to the 2021 Canadian Championships, but the competition was eventually cancelled.

2021–22 season: Senior international debut

Circelli at the 2021 CS Cup of Austria

In August and September, Circelli competed on the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, placing fourth in France and Slovakia. In November, he made his senior international debut and placed tenth at the 2021 CS Cup of Austria. In January, he placed fifth in the senior men's event at the 2022 Canadian Championships. Later that month, he competed at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, and finished eleventh.

2022–23 season

Circelli's free skate was a tribute to Canadian champion Toller Cranston.[7] Making his senior Grand Prix debut, Circelli placed tenth at the 2022 MK John Wilson Trophy in Sheffield, England.

2023–24 season: Switch to Italy

Circelli failed to re-qualify for the Canadian national team after finishing fifth at the Canadian Championships and no participation in spring competitions. In late November, Circelli competed at a regional competition in Italy and then officially announced his switch to Italy in December. Later that month, he competed at the 2024 Italian Championships,[8] where he earned the bronze medal.

In December, Circelli competed at the 2025 Italian Championships, where he finished in fifth place.[9]

2025–26 season

Circelli opened the season by winning silver at the 2025 Swiss Open. He then went on to make his Grand Prix debut for Italy, finishing twelfth at 2025 Skate America. Going on to compete on the 2025–26 Challenger Series, Circelli placed seventh at the 2025 CS Tallinn Trophy and tenth at the 2025 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb.[10]

In late December, he won his second national bronze medal at the 2026 Italian Championships.[10]

Ice dance career

Competing in novice ice dance with Katerina Kasatkin, Circelli placed 5th at the 2016 Canadian Championships and 4th at the 2017 Canadian Championships. Kasatkin and Circelli then moved up to the junior ranks and placed 13th at the 2018 Canadian Championships.

Circelli skated the next two seasons in partnership with Olivia McIsaac. Competing in juniors, McIsaac and Circelli placed eighth at the 2019 Canadian Championships and won the bronze medal at the 2020 Canadian Championships. The two were coached by Andrew Hallam and Tracy Wilson.[11]
