Club career

Torre Annunziata

Born in Torre Annunziata, near Napoli, Alfredo started his playing career for his hometown club, Calcio Azzurri di Torre Annunziata. He played there until he was 14 when Catania sporting director, Pietro Lo Monaco scouted the player and took him to Catania.

Calcio Catania

Since transferring to Catania, Donnarumma had played for all levels of the Catania youth setup and in 2008 joined the Primavera U-20 team of Catania, the highest youth level below the first team. Donnarumma had formed a great partnership with Alessandro Malafronte and most notably Francesco Nicastro during his time within Catania's youth program. He also scored 16 goals in his final youth season at the club, a fantastic record for a Trequartista. His senior playing career began in 2009, when the attacker earned first-team call-ups towards the end of the 2009-10 Serie A campaign, at the age of 18. Despite failing to make his Serie A debut with the club, the player graduated the club's youth set-up at the conclusion of the 2009-10 season.

In July 2010, Donnarumma was loaned out to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side, A.S. Gubbio 1910 in order to earn regular playing experience. During his spell with the third division club, Donnarumma made 23 league appearances, scoring 5 league goals. In his 25 official matches for the Gubbio, Donnarumma was a part of the starting lineup 22 times. On 30 June 2011, Donnarumma returned to Catania, where he remained until 30 January 2012, when he was sent out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side, Virtus Lanciano after failing to make his Catania debut. With the Lanciano-based club, Donnarumma spent time with the senior squad as well as the youth team. With the youth side, Donnarumma scored 8 goals in just 8 appearances, while with the first team, he failed to have the same impact. During the ritorno of the 2011-12 Lega Pro campaign, he appeared just 10 times for the club, all as a substitute. After again returning to Sicily, Donnarumma was asked to go out on loan once more prior to the 2012-13 Serie A season. He transferred to Calcio Como on 11 July 2012, and had a successful season with the team. He was virtually ever-present for the third division club, appearing in 29 league matches (27 of which were starts) and scoring 14 league goals.

Alfredo Donnarumma returned to Catania on 30 June 2013.

Cittadella

On 2 September 2013, Donnarumma was officially sold on a co-ownership basis to A.S. Cittadella.[1]
