He made his debut during Coppa Italia return match on 15 August 2010 against Lumezzane scoring the first goal of the match just after 6 minutes, whilst he played his first competitive Serie B game for Ascoli on 22 August 2010 in their 0–0 tie against Grosseto.

On 4 July 2013, he moved on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Salernitana.^[4]
