Club career[edit]

On 21 January 2020, he joined Serie C club Virtus Francavilla on loan.[3] He made his professional Serie C debut for Virtus Francavilla on 26 January 2020 in a game against Paganese. He substituted Matteo Calcagno in the 61st minute.[4] On 9 February 2020, he made his first start against Avellino.
On 24 January 2021, he made his Serie B debut with Lecce in a game against Empoli. One year later, on 23 January 2022, he scored his first professional goal in a home game against Cremonese.
