Club career

Born in Naples, Campania, Russini started his career at Amici di Mugnano youth academy.[2]

Ternana

Russini joined Umbrian side Ternana in 2011, along with Antonio Palumbo. Russini was the top-scorer for their under-17 team in 2012–13 season,[3] despite few goals behind the league topscorer. The team finished as the fifth of Group C, failing to qualify to the playoffs.[4]

Juventus

On 10 July 2013 half of the registration rights of Russini was signed by Serie A giant Juventus for €650,000, as part of Alberto Masi's deal to Ternana, for €2 million.[5] Russini signed a three-year contract.[5] He was immediately loaned back to Ternana,[6] which was extended in 2014–15 season.[7] Russini left Juventus on 25 June 2015 without any appearance.

Ternana (loan)

Despite a player for their under-19 team, Russini also received no.27 shirt from the first team of Ternana Calcio.[8] Russini was a player for the first team in 2013 pre-season friendly.[9] In June 2014 the co-ownerships of Masi and Russini were renewed.[7] Russini also returned to Ternana for 2014–15 Serie B season.[7]

Ternana return

In June 2015 Juventus sold Russini back to Ternana for €150,000 (reduced €500,000).[11] Ternana also acquired Masi outright for €1.5 million (also discounted €500,000) on 2 February, using the transfer fee from selling Alberto Brignoli to Juventus for €1.75 million on the same day.

On 31 August 2015 Russini was signed by the third-tier side Lumezzane on a temporary deal.[12][13]
