Career

A promising midfielder, and younger brother of Serie A footballer Luca Rigoni, he made his professional debut in the final weeks of the 2006–07 season with Vicenza.[1] He then spent the 2007–08 season with the Primavera (under-20) squad, and collecting another first team appearance in the season. He was permanently promoted to the first team in the second part of the 2008–09 season, and his performances led Serie A outfit Palermo to sign the player in a bid which involved also the co-ownership of Sicilian youngster and Italian under-20 international Gianvito Misuraca, who joined Vicenza from the rosanero youth system. Half of the registration rights of Rigoni was valued €990,000 and Misuraca for €240,000, made the deal involved €750,000 cash.[3] Rigoni will spend the 2009–10 season on loan to Vicenza in order to give him a chance to play more first team football before to join Palermo.

He finally arrived to Palermo on July 2010, joining the pre-season training camp of the rosanero, and made his debut with the Sicilian team in the return leg of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League playoff round against NK Maribor as a second-half substitute for Fabio Liverani. He then appeared as a used substitute also in the first Serie A league game of the season against Cagliari.

On 28 January 2011 he was loaned out to Vicenza for the remainder of the season.[4]

In June 2011 Vicenza bought back Rigoni for €200,000 and Luca Di Matteo returned to Palermo also for €200,000.[5] In January 2012 Rigoni signed a new 3½ year contract with Vicenza.[6]

After Vicenza was re-admitted to Serie B, on 5 September 2012 Nicola Rigoni was sold to Chievo (where his brother plays) in order to raise profit for new season, for €800,000.[7][8][9] Along with Davide Gavazzi who left for Sampdoria, they returned to Vicenza for new season. On 19 August 2013 he was signed by another Serie B club Reggina Calcio.[10]
