Vincenzo Camilleri (born 6 March 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Reggina.

Career

Born in Gela, Sicily, Camilleri began his career with the youth team of Reggina, and made his first team debut on December 19, 2007 as a half-time substitute in a Coppa Italia 2007–08 home game against Inter, which ended in a 4–1 loss for Camilleri's side.[3][4] Later on February 2008 he became the subject of a controversial approach from English club Chelsea.[5][6][7] On March 2008, after his 16th birthday, he left Reggina to move to England and join the Chelsea club academy; he consequently received a two-month ban by the Italian Federation due to breach of transfer rules, caused by Camilleri's parents not having asked permission to Reggina before entering talks with Chelsea; the ban applied only on Italian domestic games.[8] The Italian Federation also agreed to suspend indefinitely Camiller from playing at youth international level with Italy; he was playing at Under-16 level at the time of his move to Chelsea.[9] However, the youngster ultimately failed to settle in England and was allowed to return to Reggina later on January 2009.[10]

On April 19, 2009 Camilleri made his Serie A debut for Reggina as a substitute for Luca Vigiani in an away win to Atalanta.[11] Later on May 31, 2009 he also marked his first appearance as a starter, playing 64 minutes in the final game of the season, ended in a 1–1 home draw to Siena.[12] He was later confirmed as part of the Reggina roster for their 2009–10 Serie B campaign.
