Hernán Gastón Peirone (born 28 May 1986 in Villa del Rosario, Córdoba) is an Argentine football striker who plays for Argentine amateur club Luque.
Peirone has played for San Lorenzo since he came through the youth system in 2003.
Peirone has not played any first team games for San Lorenzo since 2006, he had the opportunity to sign on loan for Racing Club de Avellaneda in August 2008, but he did not sign his contract.
In 2009, he signed for the Ecuadorian Club Emelec. At his arrival in Ecuador he immediately became a solution for Emelec's scoring problems and scored some goals in both the Copa Sudamericana and the Ecuadorian championship. However, Emelec could not qualify for the final of the Ecuadorian championship and was eliminated in the second round of Copa Sudamericana.
Peirone's performances did not fully satisfy Emelec's fans expectations and he was considered one of the players to be released from the club for the 2010 season. Despite this he was given a vote of confidence by both the team's administrators and the manager and he remains in Emelec for another season.
International career
Peirone has played for the Argentina under-17 and under-20 squads. He was the top scorer (5 goals) of the 2003 South American Under-17 Football Championship.
