Raffaele De Vita (born 23 September 1987 in Rome) is an Italian professional footballer who plays for Swindon Town.

Career

He starts his career in Borussia Fiorentina, one of the top team in Rome, besides Gerardo Giacomini, another great soccer player. De Vita began his career with Blackburn Rovers but did not make an appearance for the first team. He joined Livingston in July 2008. During his career at Livingston, he made 67 league appearance and scored 22 goals.

Swindon Town

In June 2011 he signed for Swindon Town on a two year contract.

Although being signed as striker De Vita has been employed mainly as a left winger by Robins manager, Paulo Di Canio. As a hard working player De vita has adapted well to the role, but openly admits that there's always more he can do. His goals at Swindon reflect this alternate position for the versatile front man.
