Matteo Rubin (born 9 July 1987 in Bassano del Grappa) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Foggia. Matteo is a strong, hard-running, and tenacious left-back, who is known for his ability to get forward as well as his defensive skills. An accurate set-piece taker, he has a strong left foot, which makes him effective from free kicks and corners.
Club career
Matteo Rubin signed his first professional footballing contract for Serie C1 team Cittadella before signing for Torino in Serie A.[1] When becoming a first team regular Matteo suffered a ligament injury to his left knee which kept him out of the season for 6 months, sustained while playing for Italy U21 team against Greece.[2]
In August 2010 he was loaned to Bologna, in exchange with Marco Bernacci.[3]
The following August, having returned to Torino, he moved on loan to Parma, who were without a recognised left-back after the departure of Luca Antonelli seven months earlier and Marco Pisano earlier that summer.[4] Midfielders Massimo Gobbi and Francesco Modesto had previous filled in in that position.
On 3 January 2012, Bologna announced that Rubin returned to the club on loan for the remainder of the season.[5] On 11 March, he scored a calamitous own goal against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
After returning from his loan spell at Bologna, Torino sold the rights to Rubin in co-ownership to Siena.[6]
