Career
Born in Galatina, the Province of Lecce, Rizzo started his career at U.S. Lecce. He played his first and only match on the last match of 2001–02 Serie A season, a 0–3 loss to A.C. Milan, replacing Alberto Savino in the 88th minutes. In summer 2002, he was exchanged with Cesare Bovo of A.S. Roma in a co-ownership (i.e. 50%) deal and both tagged for €3M for 50% of the players' rights. He played a season with Roma's Primavera team.[1] In July 2003, he was loaned back to Lecce[2] and bought back in June 2004 for €40,000. Co-currently, Bovo, who was already a regular member of the Italy U21 team, returned to Roma for just €10,000.[3]
Rizzo was sent to Bellaria on loan during the 2004–05 season, but returned to Lecce in January 2005. In January 2006, he left for Serie C2 side Andria BAT.[4] In summer 2006, Andria formed a co-ownership deal with Lecce and played 26 league matches. In June 2007, Roma gave up their remaining rights of Rizzo to Andria. He played 1 more season for Andria at Serie C2 then joined Lega Pro Seconda Divisione (ex-Serie C2) Melfi after Andria were relegated[5] (Andria were later re-admitted to the league).
