Biography

edit

Born in Fiorenzuola d'Arda, Province of Piacenza, Emilia region, Bertoncini started his career at Piacenza. On 31 August 2009 Bertoncini left for Serie A club Genoa on a temporary deal. In June 2010 Genoa signed the defender on a co-ownership deal for €150,000.[2] During the 2 years, Bertoncini was a member of Genoa's reserves; Bertoncini appeared once in 2010–11 Serie A as an unused substitute in January 2011 as number 31.[3] In summer 2011 Bertoncini returned to Piacenza for their 2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione campaign, as the club had been relegated from Serie B in 2011. Bertoncini also signed a three-year professional contract with Genoa on 1 September 2009,[2] as a three-year professional contract could only be offered to players who graduate from the reserve (under-20 team) according to N.O.I.F. of FIGC. The club was declared bankrupt in mid-season. In June 2012 Genoa acquired Bertoncini outright from Piacenza for €550.[2] Both clubs failed to agree a price and had to submit a bid to Lega Serie A to determine the ownership, eventually Genoa's €50 more than usual peppercorn bid of €500 won.

In July 2012 Bertoncini left for another third division club Frosinone on a temporary deal with an option to purchase half of the player's registration rights.[4] In June 2013 Frosinone excised the option.[5] Frosinone eventually advanced to Serie A, giving Bertoncini his only experience of top-tier football so far.

On 16 July 2019, he signed a 2-year contract with Serie C club Reggina.[6]

On 30 September 2020, he joined Como on a two-year contract.[7]

On 1 September 2022, Bertoncini signed a two-year contract with Novara.[8]
