Jami Rafati (Persian: جامی رفعتی); born 26 April 1994 in Firenze, Italy) is an Iranian-Italian footballer who currently plays for AS Livorno Calcio in Serie B.

Club career

His professional career started after he signed a contract in 2011 with West Ham United.[1] In the summer of 2013, he moved to Genoa being valued at €100,000. 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]

International career

Because he was born in Italy but has an Iranian father, Jami Rafati is eligible to play for the national team of Italy or Iran.[4] However, he has not yet been called up by either team and remains uncapped.
