Career

edit

On 28 May 2019, Santelli signed professionally with Ligue 2 side FC Chambly after years of playing in non-professional teams in his native Corsica.[1] He made his professional debut with Chambly in a 1–0 league win over Valenciennes on 26 July 2019, scoring the game-winning goal and the first ever for Chambly in the division.[2] A few days into the season, he sustained a cruciate ligament injury.[3]

After one season with Chambly, Santelli returned to former club SC Bastia, newly promoted to Championnat National. He agreed a two-year contract with the option of a further year.[3]
