[edit] Club career
He was a regular for the Roma youth team that won the Campionato Primavera 2004–05. In this period he was nicknamed "Henry from Valmontone"[2] due to his playing style.
On May 16, 2004, the last match of the Serie A 2003-04 season, he made his official debut for Roma, at the age of 16. He replaced Daniele Corvia in the 77th minute of the game, and in only 15 minutes he came close to scoring after having dribbled Sampdoria's defender Giulio Falcone.[citation needed]
In the following two seasons he made only 4 appearances, none of them starts, and was thus loaned to Serie B team Brescia Calcio for the season 2006–07, a relatively unsuccessful spell.
The following year he was loaned to Pisa Calcio, and quickly became a regular of the team coached by Giampiero Ventura. He scored his first official goal in professional football on September 9, 2007 against Cesena, while only two months later, on November 9, after having scored 8 goals in 14 matches and helped the Tuscan team to reach the top of the table.
On August 26, 2010, Fiorentina signed Cerci [3] for €4 million.[4] On November 7, 2010, Cerci scored his first goal for Fiorentina in a 1–0 victory against Chievo.
[edit] International career
He was called up for the Italy national under-21 football team by Pierluigi Casiraghi[5] and scored his first goal for Italy in his debut during the 2009 European Championship qualifying match against Azerbaijan on 16 November 2007.
