ItalyAbout Giacomo
Giacomo Simonetti joined the Dragoons in September 2025, bringing Italian academy experience to the squad. His footballing journey began at just six years old in his hometown’s representative academy. Throughout his career in Italy, Giacomo primarily operated as a dynamic winger, though his versatility allowed him to fill in at full-back and occasionally as a striker.
Football remained a constant in Giacomo’s life until the end of the 2023 season, when he stepped away from the pitch to complete his Master’s degree. Following his graduation, he decided to move to Krakow to start a new chapter with his Polish girlfriend. After a year focused solely on work, he realised he missed the competitive edge of the beautiful game.
Searching for a way to reconnect with football in his new home, Giacomo discovered the Dragoons online. The club’s international identity immediately resonated with him, leading him to reach out and secure a spot in the squad. Despite the long break from competitive play, Giacomo is now training hard to regain his peak fitness and help the Expats climb the table.
