Miami, Fla. - The Miami Football Club announced Wednesday the signing of forward Claudio Repetto, pending league and federation approval. Repetto joins Miami FC from Phoenix Rising.
Born in Genoa, Italy, Repetto developed into a true No. 9 in Genoa's academy system. He earned loan moves to Serie D sides RapalloBogliasco, Lavagnese and Sestri Levante from 2014 through 2017. The 6'3 ¬Â³ center-forward made 59 before moving across the pond to pursue a student-athlete journey in the United States.

In 2018, Repetto scored 11 goals in 14 NPSL appearances for Med City and then transferred to Coastal Carolina University. There, he scored seven goals and notched one assist over two seasons, helping the side to consecutive Sun Belt tournament titles in 2019 and 2020.
Repetto saw his first United Soccer League action in 2019, playing for USL League Two side Ocean City Nor'easters. He scored eight times in 13 appearances.
The Italian striker signed with Charleston Battery in 2021. He went on to have a successful rookie campaign, scoring nine goals and producing three assists in 24 games.
