Getting a soccer scholarship at Rutgers University,[5] the American traveled to Italy for ten days and took part in a youth tournament, facing sides with a more aggressive style of play than the American teams Loverso played for.[5] For Rutgers University, Loverso scored his first goal in a 1-0 triumph over Seton Hall in September 2002.[6]

Senior[edit] Trying out for Falkirk F.C. of the Scottish Premier League in 2004, the forward netted his first goal for the club in a 1-0 friendly win over Chester-le-Street.[7] Unfortunately, Falkirk did not have the prerequisite funds to add him to their squad,[8] and he signed for Larne F.C. instead, whereafter scoring three goals against Donegal Celtic.[9] Picking up a concussion in the middle of a game, the attacker flew back to the United States to renew his visa and visit family.[10] Soon, in 2006, Loverso transferred to Cwmbran Town A.F.C. of the Welsh Premier League and went through another trial with Falkirk, returning in September,[11] making 13 appearances and three goals within two seasons and leaving by the end of the year.[12]

His last club was Tobago United F.C. which he plied his trade for in 2008.
