Biography

Born in Cigliano, Germano was signed by Canavese from BarcanovaSalus in 2007.[2] On 31 July 2008 he was signed by Juventus F.C.. He was the member of the under-17 football team in 2008–09 season.[3] In the next season he was a member of the reserve B - Berretti.[4][5] Germano was a player for Canavese in 2010–11 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. He also returned to Juventus "Primavera" reserve team in May 2011.[6]

In July 2011 Germano was signed by another Piedmontese club Pro Vercelli.[7] The club won the playoffs of 2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione and promoted to Serie B after half a century wait. He also played once for the representative team of Lega Pro against San Marino in June 2012.[1] Pro Vercelli finished as the 21st of 2012–13 Serie B and relegated back to the third division. On 24 August 2013 Germano was signed by Lanciano in temporary deal, fellow Serie B struggler of last season which finished just above the relegated teams as the 18th.
