Biography
Pescara
Born in Avezzano, Abruzzo, Ciofani started his career at Serie B side Pescara. In August 2006, he was loaned to Serie C1 side Celano along with Alessio Spoltore.[1] He made 29 league appearances for Celano and returned to Pescara on 1 July 2007. With Pescara which the team recently relegated to Serie C1 in June 2007, he only made 2 appearances. On 4 January 2008, he was loaned to Gela of Serie C2.[2] He scored 7 goals in half season.
Atletico Roma
Ciofani was loaned to Seconda Divisione (ex- Serie C2) side Cisco Roma in August 2008 (renamed to Atletico Roma in 2010) with option to buy half of the registration rights in June 2009.[3] He scored 37 goals in 2 seasons and won the promotion playoffs with Cisco Roma in 2010. He was the team top-scorer of Cisco Roma and top-scorer of the 2nd Divisione Group C in 2009–10 season. Which he was the joint-topscorer of the league along with Alessandro Marotta of Group B. He scored 2 more goals in the playoffs, just 1 goal short behind Alessandro Cesarini and Giacomo Casoli (both 3 goals) and shared the play-offs second highest scorer with Alessandro Cesca, Francesco Corapi, Antonio Ciro Montella and Antonio Gaeta; thus he was the overall top-scorer of the 2nd Divisione.
In June 2010, Pescara also won promotion (but to Serie B) and both clubs failed to agree the price of the remained 50% registration rights,[4] thus both clubs had to submit a bid in envelope to Lega Pro to decide the ownership. On 30 June 2010, Lega Pro announced that Cisco Roma won the closed tender as the highest bidder.[5]
Parma
On 8 July 2010, he was signed by Serie A side Parma F.C. in another co-ownership deal, for €300,000 in 4-year contract.[6] As part of the deal, Atletico Roma signed Alessio Tombesi (for €50,000) and Abel Gigli (for a peppercorn fee) in co-ownership deal, Abdou Doumbia and Gianluca Lapadula on loan.[7] Ciofani also remained in Rome on loan for another season. He scored 16 goals in 2010–11 season as team-topscorer.[8] On 24 June 2011 Parma bought the remain 50% registration rights for €100,000[6] and bought back Gigli.
In July 2011, he was loaned to Serie B newcomer Gubbio, which Parma also bore part of the wage for €185,000 as premi di valorizzazione.[9] On 2 August 2012 he signed for A.C. Perugia Calcio.[10]
Frosinone
On 30 June 2013 he was signed by Frosinone Calcio in co-ownership deal, swapped with Leandro Campagna.[11]
