Captain Carmelo Gitto extended

After the confirmation of the helmsman Andrea Radici, Umbrian from Città di Castello, the OmiFer “Franco Tigano” Palmi also makes official the confirmation of the brave captain Carmelo Gitto. The powerful central defender from Messina, who will turn thirty-seven next July, will continue his adventure for the fourth consecutive season in the charming city of the Costa Viola, with which he has already played 71 official matches between the regular season, Play Offs, Italian Cup and Italian Category Super Cup (27 of which he finished in double figures), and occupies the third step of the podium in the All Time ranking of the Tyrrhenian club, immediately behind the opposite player from Reggio Domenico Laganà and the “son of art” Peppino Carbone. The points scored were 586, with an average of 8.25 per game, distributed as follows: 20 aces, 168 winning blocks and 396 decisive attacks, with an offensive efficiency very close to 60% (59.8 to be precise) and also in this very personal ranking occupies third place behind the two former “bombers”, the opposite player from Reggio Domenico Laganà with 1102 points, and the opposite Polish player Pawel Stabrawa, who scored 1307 points. Silent leader and contagious friendliness, the yellow-blue captain he was immediately appreciated from his first matches played in the 2021-2022 competitive season, both on an exquisitely technical level but also on a purely human one, which made him an irreplaceable “piece” on the yellow-blue board. «I am really very happy to play another year with this club – the brave captain Carmelo Gitto confided to us –. Palmi is a truly special place and except for the eight years I spent in Latina, I had never stayed so long in another place as in this splendid town, because my family and I are very happy. It will be a very special year both for the club of our wonderful president Pino Carbone at the first tournament in Serie A2, but also for myself – continues the central defender born in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto – particularly curious to observe whether the technical level has changed or not after three seasons of absence.
