After appearing in two test games Monigatti played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 29 October 1944 as Basel were defeated 0–2 by Servette.[1] He scored his first goal for his club on 25 March 1945 in the home game at the Landhof as Basel played a 4–4 draw with Lugano.[2] Basel suffered relegation that season.

He stayed with the club another three seasons, but played only occasionally during this time. Between the years 1944 and 1949 Monigatti played a total of 51 games for Basel scoring a total of 19 goals. 32 of these games were in the Nationalliga, four in the Swiss Cup and 15 were friendly games.
