Mirko Romagnoli

Career
Mirko worked his way through the Empoli youth system but never played a game for them after getting his pro contact in the 14/15 season. The next year he moved to Siena and only played 3 games in two years before being sent out on loan to Rimini for the 17/18 season where he played 14 and scored 1. From the 18/19 to the 23/24 season he played 30 times for Siena and was released at the end of the 23/24 season. Gateshead brought him in on a free for the 24/25 season where he ended up playing mostly as a right back. He played 33 times and provided 1 assist. The next year he played 38 times and gave 2 assist to help Gateshead reach the play-offs. For the 26/27 season he didn't play as many times due to the depth in the defence department. Although in the games he did play, he performed very well, averaging 7.66 through the 24 games he appeared in along with the 3 assists from RB and CB. He massively helped the club to League and Cup victories that season. The next season came and it was clear that Gateshead were spoilt for choice in the defense department. Ireland tried to sell Mirko in the summer window, but no offers were high enough for Luke to be happy. January came, and a £500,000 bid came in from Norway side Molde. Ireland felt this was a fair offer and it was accepted for him to play the rest of the 27/28 season and on wards in Scandinavia. He played 13 games in his last season, finishing with a total of 108 appearances for the club over 3.5 years.
