Perugia signed Andrea Bartoletti from Macerata. Born in 1978 in Chiaravalle, near Ancona, he came up in Falconara’s youth ranks and played his first five pro years there. Then followed three years in Montichiari, two at Grottazzolina. He had a spell abroad, at Innsbruck, Austria before coming back in Italy, first with Treviso and then Maccerata for four years.

“He joins a young group of players and his experience will be extremely helpful for the whole team” said sport director Andrea Sartoretti.
