Gioele Celerino (born 4 October 1993) is an Italian professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Saint-Gaudens Bears in the Elite One Championship and Italy at international level.

Primarily playing as a second-row, he was a member of Italy's 2013 and 2017 World Cup squads.

Playing career

[edit]

At the time of the 2013 World Cup, Celerino was playing for the North West Roosters. He was the only Italian-born player selected in the World Cup squad, and one of only two players selected from the Italian domestic competition (alongside Fabrizio Ciaurro).[3] Celerino did not feature in a World Cup match, but did play in Italy's non-Test friendly against England prior to the start of the tournament.[4][5]

On 25 January 2016, it was announced that Celerino had signed with the semi-professional Newcastle Thunder in England's third-tier League 1 competition.[6]

In July 2017, Celerino moved to Australia to play with the Tully Tigers in the amateur Cairns District Rugby League.[7] In October 2017, Celerino was named in Italy's squad for the 2017 World Cup.[8] In 2018, Celerino joined his Italian teammate Terry Campese at the Queanbeyan Blues.[9][10]
