Gennaro Ruggiero (born 4 February 2000) is an Italian footballer, [1] currently unattached. [2]

Career

A physical central midfielder, and a product of Naples-based renowned youth team Mariano Keller, he was spotted by Palermo scouts and then signed in 2014. [3]

He made his Serie A debut at the age of 17 on 14 May 2017, playing the entirety of a home league game against Genoa, and becoming the third footballer born from the year 2000 to play in the Italian top flight (after Moise Kean and Pietro Pellegri). [4]

He was successively loaned out to Torino for the 2017–18 season, but failed to make any first team appearance during the season and appeared only for the Granata's U-19 team before returning to Palermo, again as part of the Under-19 team. [5]

After a lone season with Serie B club Livorno, he was signed by Serie D club Nola as a free transfer in November 2020. [6] On 7 August 2021, he moved to San Giorgio, another Serie D club from his native region of Campania. [7] He was released by the end of the season, after San Giorgio folded following their relegation to Eccellenza.
