Playing career

The third of four children of late Genoa captain and fan favourite Gianluca Signorini, who died in 2002 after a long battle against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,[3] he moved his first footsteps with his father's previous team, becoming himself captain of the Primavera Under-19 team that won the 2008–09 Coppa Italia Primavera after defeating Roma in a two-legged final.[4]

On 17 May 2009, only days after the triumph in the Coppa Italia Primavera, Signorini made his Serie A debut in a home game against Chievo Verona, replacing Boško Janković during injury time.[5]

On August 2009 he was sent out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Alessandria.[6][7]

He successively spent the 2010–11 again on loan in the Italian third tier, this time as part of the Benevento roster.[8]

On 14 July 2014, he left Benevento after four seasons to join Serie B club Cittadella.[9]

In the summer 2015 it was purchased by A.C. Rimini Calcio 1912 militant in Lega Pro.

In the season 16-17, after the failure of A.C. Rimini 1912, signed a contract with Unicusano Fondi Calcio.

In June 2017 he was bought by Ternana Calcio again to play in Serie B.
