Former Leeds United defender Gaetano Berardi has joined Swiss club AC Bellinzona. Berardi, who played 157 times for the Whites between 2014 and 2021, did have a short spell with FC Sion following his release from Leeds last summer.
He joined Sion in January, but only played nine games for the Swiss Super League side, and will now be dropping down a division in the Swiss football pyramid.
Berardi played an integral role in helping the Whites reach the Premier League in the 2019/20 season after a 16-year hiatus, and his final appearance in a Leeds shirt was in a 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road in May 2021, where he said an emotional farewell to the Leeds faithful in front of a quarter-full stadium.
