Simone Tiribocchi (born 31 January 1978 in Colleferro) is an Italian football (soccer) striker. He currently plays for Atalanta.
Career
A Lazio youth product, he made his debut playing for Pistoiese in 1995. He played 8 seasons for Torino F.C., although half of them loaned to Serie B and Serie C1 clubs. He was signed by A.C. ChievoVerona in July 2004.[1] He scored 12 goals in 43 matches.
He moved to U.S. Lecce in January 2007, ending the season with 11 goals. Together with Lecce team-mate Elvis Abbruscato, in 2007–2008 he formed one of the best duos of strikers in the Serie B tournament and managed to end the regular season with 16 goals. Tiribocchi played all four play-offs matches and scored 2 goals as Lecce regained a spot in the Serie A. Here he was one of the key-players for the salentini with another 11 goals, but his team was eventually relegated.
On 5 June 2009 Atalanta B.C. have signed the striker from U.S. Lecce until June 30, 2012.[2][3]
