Catalano occasionally played for the reserve team since the first half of that season.[2] He infamously booked 6 times for the reserve.[3] That season he was suspended once for the reserve[4] and 3 games for the under-17 team.[1] Catalano was suspended twice for the reserve,[5][6] as well as added 6 more games in his first team accounts in 2011–12 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, despite also booked once. In 2012–13 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, Catalano made 13 fourth division appearances in the first half and just booked once. He also played in the Lega Pro cup, but again cautioned in the first match.[7] On 31 January 2013 Catalano was signed by Pescara in temporary deal. Catalano was a member of the reserve, but also received call-up from the first team since May.[8][9] Pescara certainly relegated after the match against Genoa.[10] In the next match Catalano made his debut in Serie A as a substitute.[11] Catalano also played the last round against Fiorentina.

As part of the deal, Lamezia acquired Matteo Bibba, Diego De Giorgi, Stefano Rossini (loans) and Francesco Rapisarda (co-ownership for €100,000[12]) from Parma,[13] despite all 4 players in fact were free agents on 1 July 2013 (De Giorgi in 2012).
