ABBA Pineto has its new setter: Mattia Catone, born in 2001 and raised in blue and white, will be the setter of the team at the start of the next Serie A2 Credem Banca. A happy return for a talent who grew up in the shadow of Torre di Cerrano and to whom DS Massimo Forese and the club intended to entrust the keys to the game in the 2024/25 season.
Born in Atri, Mattia Catone followed the entire youth sector process in Pineto, before arriving as a senior in Serie B between 2016 and 2021. The following year he landed in Serie A3 again with the ABBA shirt, left only in the summer of two years ago for two experiences outside the region: first in Serie A2 with Agnelli Tipiesse Bergamo and then, last season, in A3 with Senini Motta of Livenza. With the Trevisos Catone collected 49 points (18 aces and 33 in attack) but above all he knew how to illuminate and direct the game, a priority aspect to be proposed again in his Pineto.
