[edit] Career
[edit] SSC Napoli
Ferdinando Sforzini started his career off with the youth system of SSC Napoli and was loaned out to SS Lazio from Napoli's youth system in 2002.
[edit] US Sassuolo
After graduating the Napoli youth system, Sforzini never managed to appear for the senior squad and was sold in 2003, to U.S. Sassuolo Calcio. At Sassuolo he impressed, scoring 9 goals in 40 appearances in his two year stint with the club.
[edit] Udinese Calcio
After impressing with U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, he was transferred to Serie A club Udinese Calcio in the summer of 2005.
[edit] Hellas Verona
He was immediatly loaned out to Serie B side Hellas Verona in order to gain more experience. In his season with Verona, Sforzini managed 5 goals in 35 Serie B appearances, and was a constant fixture in their Starting XI.
[edit] Modena FC
For the 2006-2007 season, Udinese opted to again loan out the player, however this time, it was to Modena FC, another Serie B club. With Modena, Sforzini scored 5 goals again, in 30 total appearances. He seemed set to return to Udinese Calcio that summer after the sale of Vincenzo Iaquinta, however, he again was loaned out in August 2007, to another Serie B club, Vicenza Calcio.
[edit] Vicenza Calcio - Ravenna Calcio
In August 2007, Sforzini transferred to Vicenza Calcio for yet another Serie B season. With the club, Sforzini made 14 appearances in his six month stay, scoring 2 goals. For the second half of the 2007-2008 season, Udinese loaned out the 23 year old Sforzini to Ravenna Calcio, a club struggling to avoid relegation from the Serie B. In the latter half of the season, Sforzini scored an impressive 9 goals in 21 league appearences for Ravenna Calcio, but it was not enough to save them from relegation.
[edit] US Grosetto - US Avellino
In August 2008, Sforzini looked set for a possible loan deal again from Udinese, to Serie A giants Juventus FC, whose scouts spotted him as a future prospect. However, the move never took place and he was again loaned out into the Serie B - this time with U.S. Grosseto F.C. - despite interest from Serie A clubs Cagliari Calcio, Chievo Verona, AS Roma and previously-mentioned Juventus. In his six month loan period with Grossseto, Sforzini was a regular starter, appearing 18 times and scoring 3 goals. In January 2009, he swapped places with Alessandro Pellicori of US Avellino. Pellicori transferred to U.S. Grosseto F.C. and Avellino needed a replacement, as they too looked to save themselves from relegation. With Avellino Sforzini impressed, hitting good form and scoring 7 goals in just 12 Serie B appearances.
[edit] AS Bari
After hitting good form with US Avellino, Sforzini returned to Udinese in the summer of 2009, but was loaned out again, this time to AS Bari, a club that was just promoted to the Serie A, following their title winning Serie B campaign. Life at Bari was tough for Sforzini in his first six months with the club, as due to an injury he did not appear once. He is set to return to action in late January 2010.
