Ortona remains active just a few days from the deadline as it announced that Mattia Matricardi will wear the Ortona shirt again. Born in 1989, he came up in the Ortona youth ranks. Hard-worker, coachable and clever, he will be the back-up setter of captain Lanci. Following his pro-debut in the club in the B1 division in 2009-10, he went away to Paglieta until 2013, when he came back home.
“I am thrilled and excited – he said – This will be a tough season but very exciting at the same time. The promoted teams are ambitious and there are many solid squads. The level of the league is high so we’ll try to be up to the task this season again. It won’t be easy but we’ll do everything possible to be among the top teams”.
