Club career
Early life

Senior career
Until the age of twenty-five, he played in the Italian sixth and fifth tiers before playing in the Italian fourth tier. One of those clubs was Italian side Ivrea, who he signed for in 2014. He was regarded as an important player in the Italian lower leagues. After that, he signed for Italian third-tier side Pro Patria, but he failed to establish himself in the squad and did not get consistent playing time.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
