Palermo sign Lecce keeper

Palermo have officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Francesco Benussi from U.S.Lecce. The player had joined the Rosanero on loan for the latter part of the 2009/10 season, and the club have now decided to acquire his services on a permanent basis. Benussi has signed a three year contract with the Sicilian outfit.

Benussi, a product of Venezia’s youth system, had loan spells with Lumezzane, Ascoli and Arezzo before making the switch to Lecce in 2005. Before joining Palermo on loan, he also had loan stints at Siena and Livorno.

Benussi’s arrival effectively means that Rubinho’s Palermo career is all but over.
