Quick Facts
Biography
Leonardo Fasan (born 4 January 1994) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership club Celtic.
Club career
Fasan was associated with Udinese Calcio, before he joined Scottish Premiership club Celtic in 2010, initially on a trial basis. He kept a clean sheet in the 2011 final of the Glasgow Cup as Celtic's under-17s beat Old Firm rivals Rangers 1–0. He was an unused substitute in the 2012 Scottish Youth Cup Final, as Celtic recorded an 8–0 victory over Queen of the South at Hampden Park. He played in goal for the 2012–13 Scottish Youth Cup final, as Celtic beat Dunfermline Athletic 3–1. He turned professional at the club in August 2014 when he signed a three-year contract after impressing manager Ronny Deila during pre-season. However, he failed to establish himself as the club's second choice goalkeeper ahead of Łukasz Załuska, Logan Bailly, or Dorus de Vries.
On 31 January 2017, he joined EFL League One side Port Vale on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season. He was signed by manager Michael Brown following the sale of Jak Alnwick to Rangers, leaving Fasan to compete with fellow youngsters Ryan Boot and Harry Pickering for a first team place. He made his senior debut in 3–0 defeat to Peterborough United at Vale Park on 4 February, and was named as the home team's man-of-the-match after he saved a penalty in the first-half. He also saved a penalty in his third game for the club, during a 2–0 defeat to Millwall at The Den on 11 February; Brown said that "they were fantastic penalty saves but his game has to improve". He lost his first team place to new signing Deniz Mehmet in mid-March, but returned to the starting eleven for the final two games of the season.
