Here is Matteo Martini, new reinforcement of Bertram Derthona

Bertram Derthona is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Matteo Martini, a guard born in '92 who started the 2018/19 season in Serie A with the Pistoia shirt, before moving to Latina, in A2, where he ended the year.

CAREER – Born in Livorno on 25 August 1992, Martini took his first steps in the youth sector of Don Bosco Livorno, the team with which he played in National Division B in the 2011/12 season. He started the following year with the same shirt before moving to Serie C to Orzinuovi, where he won promotion to Serie B. The player also played the following year with the Lombard team.

The 2014/15 season begins in Monsummano, in Serie B, before returning to Orzinuovi, where he concludes the year. In 2015/16 Matteo arrived in Serie A2 signing for Legnano, a team in which he remained for three consecutive seasons: in the first year he scored 7.5 points per game on average, while in the following year he played an important role in a team that finished in third place - at behind Biella and Tortona – the regular season. In the playoffs the Lombards surrendered 3-1 to Roseto in the round of XNUMX of the playoffs.

In 2017/18 Martini was once again among the protagonists of the Knights' season, who finished the regular season in third place in the West Group, behind Casale Monferrato and Scafati. In the playoffs, the Lombardy team's run stopped in the round of 3, following a 0-83 defeat at the hands of Verona. In Legnano Martini played a total of 11 games, scoring XNUMX points on average per game.

Last season he made his debut in Serie A with the Pistoia shirt, with which he made a total of twenty appearances; Matteo ends the year by returning to A2 in Latina, reaching the playoffs which ended with a 3-2 elimination at the hands of Montegranaro in the round of XNUMX.

In 2017 he took part in the meeting, held in Cremona, of the Italian national team coached by coach Meo Sacchetti. She now comes to Bertram Derthona to start a new chapter in her career.

This is Doctor Beniamino Gavio's welcome: ʺI am very happy with Matteo Martini's arrival in the team. This is a player we have followed carefully and who has shown great willingness to join our project by signing a multi-year contract. Matteo wants to grow with us: we are sure that he will wear the Lions shirt with pride and great passion. We can't wait to see him on the pitch soon.".

 Thus Marco Ramondino, head coach of Bertram Derthona: ʺWe are really happy to be able to add Matteo Martini to our group. He is a truly important player for the A2 championship, so much so that he deserved a chance in Serie A last season. This is an athletic winger who handles the ball and can score in different ways, giving us the ability to try to build a game that isn't too predictable. Matteo also brings great enthusiasm: he chose us immediately and we are happy and proud of this.

The first words of Matteo Martini: ʺI am very flattered by the call, because Tortona is a reality that is emerging with drive and desire to do well: therefore I am honored to be part of this project. I'm happy and excited, I can't wait to start this new experience.
