Jami Rafati made his debut in Serie A on 3 May 2014 playing from the start for Genoa against U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, and the match ended 0-0. To develop further, Jami Rafati decided to join AS Livorno Calcio.
Rafati signed a contract on 7 July 2014 with newly relegated Serie B team AS Livorno Calcio until 2016.[2][3]
